The daughter of a baronet and a minor heiress, Rosalind
Thorne was nearly ruined after her father abandoned the family. To survive in
the only world she knew, she began to manage the affairs of some of London
society's most influential women, who have come to rely on her wit and
discretion. So when aristocratic wastrel Jasper Aimesworth is found dead in
Almack's, London's most exclusive ballroom, Rosalind must use her skills and
connections to uncover the killer from a list of suspects that includes
Almack's powerful patronesses--and her own former suitor Devon Winterbourne,
now Lord Casselmaine. Torn between her old love and a growing attraction to a
compelling Bow Street runner, Rosalind must not only unravel the mysteries
surrounding Jasper's death, but the mysteries of her own heart as well.
The three great-nephews of cantankerous Mr. Penicuik know
better than to ignore his summons, especially when it concerns the bestowal of
his fortune. The wily old gentleman has hatched a typically freakish plan for
his stepdaughter's future and his own amusement--his fortune will be Kitty's
dowry. But while the beaux are scrambling for her hand, Kitty counters with her
own inventive, if daring, scheme--a sham engagement should keep wedlock at bay.

spend the summer with her twin sister in Edenbrooke, she has no idea of the

dies, leaving Philip heir to Edenbrooke, he is thrust into an unexpected role
as London's most sought-after bachelor; but everything changes when he meets

from the point of view of Philip.
