One Bashful Lady — Brenda Williamson

Desmond Rawlington, the Marquess of Dunsmore is a seductive charmer, and he needs a Delacorte sister as a wife. When the eldest elopes, he marries the younger, Ainsley only to discover he's falling in love with the enchanting young woman, despite her quirky habit of hiding behind draperies.

Lady Ainsley Delacorte, the shyest person anyone has ever met, is nervous around servants, overwhelmed by the ton, and forced into marriage. Her reluctance fades by her husband's sinfully romantic touch, but can she forget he's involved in a traitorous plot to return Napoleon to power.

When his wife is caught with an incriminating letter detailing treason, Desmond intervenes with a confession. Will they face the gallows or can love save them?
