Summary

He was only supposed to find her sister. Falling in love wasn’t part of the agreement.

Miss Dinah Ashmore has a problem: her sister has gone missing, and the constable isn’t taking it seriously. She decides to take matters into her own hands by hiring a Bow Street Runner, not understanding the danger she has put herself in.

Nathaniel Calvert, Earl of Hawthorne, is an agent of the Crown. His assignment is to root out a radical group and bring them to justice. When Miss Ashmore mistakes him as a Bow Street Runner and explains her plight, he suspects that the missing sister might be connected to his case.

As Nathaniel works to stop the threat on the Crown, he realizes that Dinah isn’t content with just being brushed aside. She is determined to be part of the effort to bring her sister home, no matter what the costs are. When Dinah’s actions cause her life to be threatened, Nathaniel must keep her safe as he attempts to ignore their growing attraction. And when the truth is finally revealed, will Dinah be able to accept Nathaniel’s lies and trust that love will conquer all?

A Treacherous Engagement begins the Gentlemen of London series, a light-hearted, clean and wholesome romance set in the Regency era. All books in this series have their own Happily-Ever-After and are best enjoyed in order.

Trite, ridiculous

Not worth the time to listen. I know it's fiction but it's supposed to be Regency. The unlikely situations include :
The son of a marquess recruited at Oxford to become a spy.
A caricature of a police constable taking tea in the drawing room.
Gretna Green to London and back in a week by carriage.
The heroine accosting the hero on the street and asking him to find her sister thinking he's a Bow Street runner because he's wearing a burgundy waistcoat.
