She wrote the riddles—he took the glory. But who will win the final challenge?
Lady Hyacinth has always been ignored. Considered a wallflower given that she is much too quiet and lacks her sister’s beauty, she finds solitude in her writing. Coming up with riddles and word mysteries, she sends them to The London Chronicle and is delighted when the ton begins to speak of them! One gentleman, however, declares himself to be the riddle-writer, stealing her glory from her and Hyacinth, despite her shy nature, is determined to come up with her own revenge.
Samuel, the Marquess of Trentwood, has always prided himself on his intellect. Ignoring those who call him arrogant, he becomes a little irritated when he cannot answer the riddles written in The London Chronicle. When a friend asks him for an answer to one of the riddles, Samuel pretends that he himself is the riddle writer rather than reveal his lack of understanding, only for that news to spread through the ton at once! When strange things begin to happen to him and the riddles seem to become a little more personal, Samuel determines to find out who the real writer.
Can he find out the truth without revealing his lies? And what will happen when his heart begins to long for something entirely different?
