A Husband's Wicked Ways (Thorndike Press Large Print Core Series) - Hardcover

Widow Aurelia Farnham wishes for a better life while raising her precocious daughter. With dreams of economic security, she thrives in the social whirl of London society, thanks to friends who have made love matches with aristocratic men who work undercover in England’s war with France. Then Colonel Sir Greville Falconer tells her that her husband did not die three years ago; he died recently as a spy under the colonel’s direction. Now the colonel wants Aurelia to become his new partner in flushing out Spanish spies who are insinuating themselves in the ton. With the prospect of excitement and funds for her independence, she agrees, never expecting that their cover story, a feigned courtship, would become something more. Or has it? Will Aurelia ever know Greville’s true feelings? This dynamic conclusion to Feather’s Wicked trilogy (A Wicked Gentleman, 2007; To Wed a Wicked Prince, 2008) is filled with recurring quirky characters, truly evil villains, and a fearless heroine who is definitely an equal to her hero. --Patty Engelmann
