A delightful story of a wilful young lady addicted to late
night forays abroad, and when caught in the act, telling fibs simply will not
do. Her disguise is insufficient to convince a lordly spy (extraordinaire) that
she’s indeed aware of the danger she so readily embraces with air of confidence.
With no thought to the dangers of masquerading in a world where men are men and
brutality is part of the nightly entertainment, the Earl of Tisbury determines
the dark underworld is no place for Lady Lydia Radcliffe. What is more,
unrequited love can cost a man dear if he’s of mind to protect the woman he
loves. Despite a past misdemeanour that set them at odds and no seeming way out
of that former pickle, Lydia’s resistance to any notion of romance in the air
is but an aphrodisiac to the earl. He’s most definitely a man of equal
determination to win his heart’s desire no matter the cost to his sanity, but
dare he endanger her life with a declaration of true love? Danger is always
close at hand for him too, as shadows in the dark merge with life all around
him and the enemy is closer than first realised. Here I will stop and say no more,
and leave you a potential reader to enjoy a thoroughly well-researched novel.
Enjoy!
