The Spinster's Secret (Midnight Quill #2)

This spinster is more than she seems…

Penniless Matilda Chapple is dependent on the charity of unloving relatives. Determined to earn her financial independence, she writes a series of titillating short stories, purporting to be the confessions of a courtesan. Her secret is safe—until a battle-scarred Waterloo veteran, Edward Kane, agrees to uncover the anonymous author’s identity.

Can Mattie conceal the secret of her scandalous writings, or will Edward discover that the virginal spinster and the risqué authoress are one and the same person? Rated '4/5 - Explicit open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
