Description from the publisher:
Some secrets should never be unveiled…

Heath Grenville is the problem-solver for London's elite. Unmask the devious cretin skewering the ton with audacious caricatures? With pleasure. His success should keep the powerful happy. But when his work leads him to a young lady outside his class, surely he won’t do anything so scandalous as to fall in love...

By day, Miss Eleanora Winfield is a proper, unremarkable paid companion. By night, Nora’s skillful hands sketch the infamous penny caricatures rocking high society. Nora desperately needs the money…and her anonymity. But how can she keep them both, when she’s fallen for the one man whose livelihood and reputation requires him to expose her?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LORD OF SECRETS is the fifth book in the Rogues to Riches series.  They each stand alone, but there is a lot of cross over from other characters in this book.  I believe it would be best if you had read their stories… you’ll enjoy them!

 Oh, the irony – Heath Grenville is the keeper of secrets for the ton, but this time he’s trying to ferret out a secret - the secret that Nora needs to keep if she is going to help her family.  This tug-of-war is the catalyst for this story.  When do you let go of your secrets?

I loved that the relationship was slowly built.  They both tried to deny the growing attraction, but it was a losing battle.  As a former teacher, I appreciated the Nora’s plight as she embraced her artistry as a defense against dyslexia (a term not known or understood in those days).  In fact, I liked a lot about Nora.  She is a strong woman and I cheered as she stood up for herself as she held her place in a society where she is seen as “less than.”

LORD OF SECRETS is one of my favorites of Erica Ridley’s releases to date.  She continues to delight and entertain and will always be one of those authors who leaps to the top of my TBR pile.

Note:  While I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
