Gatecrashing a high-society wedding at Chateau Vauquelin wasn't Celeste's finest hour. Although being caught by Nick, the sexiest best man she's ever met, has its perks... Until he confiscates the hidden papers she was searching for-documents that might prove whether Madame Duval left Paris alive nearly ninety years ago, or if she was murdered by the previous owner. With just six weeks to finalise his new hotel venture before heading back to the US, the last thing Nick needs is a battle with French bureaucracy. So it's ironic that he's withholding papers from the one woman in the city who has the connections he needs to solve his problems. Not to mention that he might be falling hard for the infuriatingly headstrong biographer. As Celeste digs further into the past, it becomes clear that the papers hold the key to more than Madame Duval's disappearance. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more someone is determined to stop her-at any cost. Scandalous Affairs sees a return to Chateau Vauquelin in this standalone, suspenseful romance featuring a sinfully sexy hero, a mysterious disappearance, and a shocking secret.
