Sara Whately has come to England from Philadelphia on a daring quest to recover long-buried family jewels and ease her father's financial straits. The dilemma: the jewels are hidden at the estate her grandfather lost years ago to a callous young buck in a game of cards. Gaining access will not be easy, especially when the dangerously handsome and disconcertingly witty Lord Reath distracts her at every turn.
Money, privilege, women—all have come easily to Reath. After ten years abroad, he is ready to make up for his youthful folly by returning his ill-gotten estate to its rightful owner—if only he could find him! The bold and forthright beauty he keeps encountering, seemingly immune to his dashing good looks and practiced charms, presents an altogether more agreeable challenge. Wooing her is an amusing game at first, then it becomes his heart's greatest desire...
