About the book
Lord Giles Carlton's first encounter with Miss Roma Allendyle had been, to say the least, indelicate. First he rescued her, even as she disguised herself as a grubby lad, from a mysterious ambush. Then he had no choice but to tend to her bullet wound. And now, decked in the very latest London mode, there stood before him that exquisite figure he had seen unclothed. When he learned of her secret search for a vanished brother, an agent of the Crown, Giles was impelled by her honor -- and nothing more -- to offer his masterful assistance.
