This novella really packed a lot of story into a few pages!  The hero and heroine are both appealing, with honorable intentions and kind dispositions but neither of them are annoyingly perfect.  This is a follow up story to the Duke of Danby book "Compromised for Christmas."  Louisa Whitton is visiting her sister and brother-in-law, Elizabeth and John Trent, when Lord Marston stops in to warn John and Elizabeth about French officers coming to England to arrest them for spying.Lord Marston and Louisa are immediately attracted to one another and have the opportunity to get to know each other while staying with the Trents. As stated in the book summary, Marston cannot court Louisa yet because he wants to get his three sisters married off. He asks Louisa to wait, but will she?  The first half of the story takes place at the Trents estate with typical country activities and the second half takes place in London attending balls and driving in the park.  There's a lot going on with spies, jealousy, ballrooms and falling in love.  Overall, a very enjoyable novella!** Clean romance with a few passionate kisses.
