High jinks, misunderstandings and conflicted passions – Regency rocks in the latest racy read from Janet Mullany
1822, England: Lady Caroline Elmhurst is twice-widowed, down on her luck and pursued by creditors.

Neither realizes the other is penniless and neither has any intention of falling in love…
