Beware of Virtuous Women (The Beckets of Romney Marsh, #3)

by Kasey Michaels

The perfect daughter...secrets within secrets, lies within lies.

Adopted daughter Eleanor Becket is dedicated to her family and its welfare. She is also a commendable commander, and a keeper of secrets, most especially her own. Who would ever expect this fragile beauty, with her quiet ways and her unfortunate limp, to be capable of anything more than her accomplishments at embroidery and her mastery of musical instruments?

Only Jack Eastwood feels the need to look more deeply at this self-proclaimed spinster, and what he sees-and the long-ago crime he suspects-lead both Jack and Eleanor to the very edge of desire and danger. As the Beckets feel the outside world looking ever more closely at the nocturnal activities taking place in Romney Marsh, as the Black Ghost rides yet again, Eleanor Becket is forced to risk her family, her chance at love, even her life, in one desperate gamble.

[wyvernfriend]

Eleanor Becket is a quiet woman who knows secrets and one of the biggest secrets is her own. Her past has things that will influence the future and Jack Eastwood finds himself embroiled in both her and her family's future while trying to unravel some questions of his own.

Much of the plot is pretty predictable and if you blink you might miss some of the thriller and mystery aspects but it's a fun read.
