A Mysterious Quest of a Seductive Lady by Lucinda Nelson

A Lady desperate for answers. An Earl desperate to protect her. A search for the truth will bind them forever…

When James, Adam Avery’s best friend dies in a mysterious accident, the Earl of Strickland is devastated. He knows there is something wrong, and suspects it was not just an accident, but he cannot prove it.
When James’ sister appears again, it seems as fate has brought them together.
It’s been two years since Magnolia Richmond’s world came crashing down around her. After being in solitude ever since her parents and brother died in an accident, Magnolia decides to come out of her silence.
When she sees her brother’s best friend and her old heartache again, she is utterly determined to discover the truth behind the deaths that brought her to despair.
Magnolia and Adam set out on a dangerous quest for the truth, and before they manage to get to the bottom of it, love starts growing between them. But as Adam’s sworn to himself to protect Magnolia against everything, he seems to be stepping boundaries Magnolia is not willing to accept.
As the investigation goes on, the couple finds out that what they’ve been looking for might be closer than they thought. Now the question is whether Adam’s protection will be enough to keep Magnolia safe or if her need for independence will make her regret for the rest of her life… for however long that is…
