For the Love of Lila

the long version

Winner of the Golden Heart Award. When Lila Covington decides to escape the restrictions of 1820s London society and go to Paris to live as a writer, she seeks financial advice from Tristan Wyndam, a barrister her late father mentored. An honorable man with political aspirations, Tristan can't allow his mentor's daughter to travel alone. But their journey together would be improper-and could lead to indiscretions Tristan Wyndam did not expect to escort his mentor's beautiful daughter unchaperoned to Paris. But Lila Covington defies all expectations and society's conventions. She promises to protect Tristan's reputation by disguising herself as a boy on the journey. But it is her performance as his wife that leaves him wanting more.
