“Um, my lord… did you just call me a fool?”
“I did. That’s why I can’t love you.”
Lelia, the daughter of a former marquess, once entered an unconsummated marriage as a spy and played the part of a perfect fool.
She thought she had completed her mission without incident. Yet three years later, she somehow finds herself assigned to protect her former husband.
When they reunite after three years, her ex-husband is stunned to discover the woman she truly is.
“Wait. Why aren’t you folding that letter into a bird? How can you hold a normal conversation? You used to roast potatoes over banknotes—when did you realize those were money?!”
Lelia once shocked the duke as a “foolish woman.” Now, she leaves him speechless all over again by revealing just how exceptionally capable she is—and before he knows it, her former husband begins falling for her.
