Description from the book:

When clues point to the man he blames for both his exile and his brother’s death, Declan resolves to ruin the culprit. If only the daughter of the man’s business partner, lovely Lady Alethea Swinton, didn’t tempt his resolve.
Lady Alethea Swinton has cultivated her pristine reputation in the hopes of winning her father’s praise. When her childhood friend returns, Alethea finds she’s willing to court scandal and defy her father to help the handsome Declan uncover the truth behind his brother’s death. Until she realizes Declan’s redemption will mean her family’s ruin
This is the first novel by author Liana De la Rosa. For a first attempt, the author did exceedingly well. There are some inconsistencies in regards what would have been acceptable in historical England but overall the story is well written and develops at a nice pace.
