Lord of Secrets by Erica Ridley

Heath Grenville is the heir to a baronetcy and is part of the London elite.  He is known as the problem-solver among the Ton.  His mother is pressuring his sisters to find husbands, so Heath tells his mother he is looking for a wife to take pressure off of them. 

Miss Eleanora Winfield was raised on a sheep farm by her grandparents and as they age, Nora and her brother have been running the farm.  Her cousin is in need of a paid companion and summons Nora to London.  At one of the many balls, Nora spills a drink on Heath.    Heath is intrigued by the young woman and disappointed to find out that she is a paid companion.  He is drawn to Nora and starts finding ways to visit her cousin so he can see Nora. 

Nora is intrigued by the handsome heir, but she has a deep secret that she can't even divulge to the Ton's secret keeper.  Will it get in the way of their love?

I absolutely loved this book.  I liked how as the story progressed, Nora's character developed.  She started off meek and shy.  By the end of the book, she was confident and in love with Heath.  I also liked how her relationship with her cousin grew into a friendship.  The caricatures were a brilliant sub-plot.  I liked how Nora used a caricature to subtly get back at a dandy who made fun of Lady Roundtree. 

I received a complimentary ARC from the author and NetGalley  Thank you!
