All is not as it seems!

One Night of Scandal (Wicked Dukes Club #4) by Darcy Burke           


It's 1817. The attitudes of the times towards women were demoralizing. Really it just needed an enterprising woman  to circumnavigate the rules. At least that's what Viola Eversleigh does with such barriers when she becomes Tavistock, a male writer for a women's magazine.
Two years of perfecting her disguise sees Tavistock comfortably ensconced at the Dukes Tavern seeking out information for his column. And that's where it all starts with Jack Barrat MP rescuing her as she's about to storm the Gentlemen's club Brooks late one night.
It seems Jack's the only one who's penentrated her disguise early on in the experiment.
Viola is Valentine Fairfax, Duke of Eastleigh's sister. Now that Val's married Viola's grandmama has decided her new focus is Viola marriage's--the quicker the better, with Viola's agreement or without it.
Marriage is not on Viola's horizon , however she does find herself being very aware of Jack. With some sleuthing and scandal hovering in the background Viola's antics and Jack's bemusement result in an enjoyable read!
