London, 1853 – Lady Catherine and Alexander Gray share a passion… because Catherine IS Alexander Gray!
But as Catherine's debut into society approaches, she must confront the inevitable end to her secret life. Determined to leave her mark, she sets her sights on winning the upcoming fencing tournament and having her nom de guerre immortalized on the coveted traveling trophy. With her mother intent on securing her a respectable marriage, Catherine realizes this is her final chance to revel in the freedom she holds dear. However, when she finds herself endangering her own life to save the captivating Marquess, her secret identity is revealed, and the consequences are unforeseen.

Can the Mad Marquess find a bride?

Daniel, Marquess of Huntley, yearns to be embraced by London society, but he must first dispel the rumors surrounding his father's alleged madness. In his pursuit of social acceptance, Daniel plans to marry a woman of impeccable standing and connections, someone who can ensure their future offspring inherit the most distinguished pedigrees. The last thing he wants is to be entangled with a daring young woman who flouts societal norms, masquerading as a boy. Keeping Catherine at arm's length seems the safest course of action for him.

It comes down to a question of honor…

When a destitute earl uncovers Catherine's secret and uses it to blackmail her, she finds herself backed into a corner, teetering on the brink of social ruin. Forced into a marriage to salvage her reputation, Catherine grapples with the question of whom to marry. Yet, as she delves deeper into the intricate web of her own deception, she discovers that marriage provides little protection when a vengeful suitor plots the ultimate revenge.

In a twist of fate, Catherine’s heart leads her to rescue two dogs from peril, mirroring her own quest for liberation. This act of kindness weaves new threads of compassion and companionship into her life, enriching her journey of self-discovery and redemption. Amidst the turmoil, she must also rescue herself from the confines of expectation and, ultimately, help Daniel confront his own demons.

Although LADY CATHERINE'S SECRET is Book 2 in Sheridan Jeane's SECRETS AND SEDUCTION Series, it can be read as a standalone romance.

Then this rule breaker butts heads with another rule breaker, an enigma of a man who is equal to her skills at deception and equally dedicated to defending the helpless.

Sheridan Jeane is a romance author who will take you on a thrilling journey, whether you're a fan of historical or contemporary romance. With her six Victorian-era novels, she'll transport you to a world of spies, intrigue, and deliciously sensual moments. But don't let the corsets fool you, Sheridan's stories are anything but stuffy!

Her newest series, The Way to a Woman's Heart, is a contemporary romance trilogy that will have you laughing, crying, and falling in love. Slow Simmer will leave you hungry for more, while Here's the Scoop will keep reading late into the night. And, in From Bitter to Sweet, Sheridan will take you on an emotional rollercoaster as two people burned by past failed relationships discover the sweetness of love.

Sheridan's stories have been featured in Love In the Time of Corona anthologies, Volumes I and II, proving that even a pandemic can't stop the power of love. So, whether you're in the mood for a steamy historical romance or a witty contemporary read, Sheridan Jeane has got you covered!

Sheridan is the daughter of an artist/art-therapist/professor mother and an opera-fanatic/computer engineer father. Growing up, she assumed all families routinely converted their garages into well-stocked art studios complete with a potter's wheel, kiln, and every color of acrylic paint under the sun. Didn't most second-graders nail shingles on the roof of the new 2-car garage their dad built? And didn't everyone host the occasional after-opera cast party?

No?

Go figure!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review
'Lady Catherine's Secret' by Sheridan Jeane is book two in the "Secrets and Seduction" series.
This is the story of Daniel, Marquess of Huntley and Lady Catherine. I do feel this was a standalone book, but I would tell you to read the previous book ' It Takes a Spy' just because it was such a great book.

Lady Catherine has been pretending to be Alexander Gray so that she can practice fencing along with her brother. Catherine and her brother are very close! So close that even when they were suppose to be learning to dance with they were practicing fencing. Without her brother's help she would not have had so much freedom to learn non-girl things.
While at a fencing lesson, she meets Daniel who she is attracted too.
If her fencing abilities and her presenting to be a man comes to light this will ruin her family. Her mother has hopes to marry her well... and her mother does not know of this fencing secret. But now we find some suitor who Catherine does not want is threatening her with this secret.
Daniel is looking for a wife to settle down claims and rumors that his father suffers from madness. To do this Daniel thinks he would have to marry a very popular lady of the town. But Daniel is attracted to Catherine.
There are no cliffhangers in this book but I cannot wait to read the next book since the last two were so good!

I love it when I find a new author! I really like the fact that this isn't one of those books where the "reluctant heroine" is forced into a romance with a rake. Yuck. The heroine in this story is strong, and she and the hero are attracted to each other because they have stuff in common. The chemistry is really spot on. How's that for a change? I found the story suspenseful, interesting, romantic, and un-put-downable. I got it on Amz first because I didn't know Apple sold books. Surprise! Anyway, definitely give this one a try. It's worth it.

I love historical romances! I read the first book in the series, and there were parts I liked and parts I didn't like. This book was about the same for me. The book premise was appealing. The heroine was inconsistent - pretty and smart, sometimes mature, sometimes immature and stubborn. The hero was compelling - handsome and loyal. They had pretty good chemistry. I liked the storyline and the author's writing style. Overall a good book. I'll likely read the next book in the series.

As an insider, I had the privilege of reading drafts, and the published version has been nicely polished. The characters are credible, the heroine is both charming and dynamic . . . No shrinking violet, she.

Ugh, kind of annoying

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

I really loved the first book in this series. This one not so much. It took about 20% of the book for the 2 characters to even meet as themselves. The other problem was a reading pet peeve of mine, when the hero wants another woman. The woman he needs is not “right “ for him. It just gets on my nerves, a romance novel is fantasy, therefore he should just love her no matter what qualms he has with her character.
