Lady Eve's Indiscretion by Grace Burrowes

Lady Eve's Indiscretion (Windhams: The Duke's Daughters, #4) (Windham, #7)

by Grace Burrowes

She needed a plan. What she found was a marquis…
Lady Evie Windham has a secret to keep, and a wedding night would ruin everything. She's determined to avoid marriage as long as possible, but with her parents pushing potential partners her way from every direction, she needs a miracle. When she meets Lucas Denning, the newly titled Marquis of Deene, Evie knows he could be the answer.
Lucas Denning has a secret of his own, and he's finding it harder and harder to ward off the ladies who seem to think him a suitable husband. He doesn't think they'd be so keen if they knew of the gambling debts he inherited and can't repay.
When Lady Eve suggests that they could be each other's decoy, it seems like the perfect way to keep all eyes off of him for a while. What he didn't expect was the steamy kiss that no one was supposed to see, and that he never saw coming…

Eve a young woman, whom after an accident secluded herself. Eve stops riding and working with horse. Living a half life compared to the life she used to live.

Lucas after returning from war, starts trying to gain custody of his niece. Feeling that is what his sister wanted him to do after her death.

Eve and Lucas have known each other for awhile. as their family estates border each other. They become closer and closer their attraction to each growing. Both are also to afraid to admit that they care for each other. The plot was well written and flows very smoothly. I enjoyed all the twists and turns in the plot. The interactions between characters was very well written, I enjoyed the characters closeness with each other. Character development was very interesting . I felt very drawn in to Lady Eve's
Indiscretion, with what happened to Eve and how she hid it trying to avoid scandal not wanting people to know what mistake she made as a teenager. I enjoyed how the end Lucas helped get over what had happened to her. Lady Eve's Indiscretion was an awesome read.

I give Lady Eve's Indiscretion five cocktails.
