About this ebook
A lady knows how to fight when she’s painted into a corner.
Lady Emily Southwell and her three friends, Priscilla Tate and Daphne and Ariadne Courdebas, are determined that someday the world will speak in reverent tones of the year they made their debuts in London Society. She is equally determined to take her rightful place among the famous artists of the Royal Society for the Beaux Arts. That is, until her longtime betrothed Lord Robert Townsend declares his intent to marry her and whisk her off into the countryside, immediately. What can the fellow be thinking! It’s up to Lady Emily and her friends to discover whether Lord Robert has something up his sleeve besides a nicely muscled arm.
Dashing Bow Street Runner Jamie Cropper is determined to uncover Lord Robert’s secrets, but he finds himself continually tripping over the determined Lady Emily. What is it about those dark curls, that fiery spirit? A shame she is miles above him in Society’s eyes. And in danger of becoming Lord Robert’s next victim.
As Jamie and Lady Emily join forces to prove Lord Robert a villain, will a duke’s daughter form a perilous passion for a most unlikely suitor?
