Notorious rake Conor Melchers enjoys nothing more than
pleasing his bevy of female companions - though he has
little interest in making any of them his wife. While
purchasing a gift of a hedgehog for one of his paramours, he
is distracted by a nearby commotion involving a woman -
towing a pet pig - who has fallen unconscious to the ground.
Conor rushes to her aid and brings her to the home of his
dear friends Lady Ysabella, "Syb," and Lady Augusta, "Gus,"
whom he has long fancied - and whose somewhat worrying
fondness for gambling prompts him to become her escort on
her forays to the gaming hells.
...TWO TRUE LOVES
Nigel, Lady Syb's nephew, is at the new houseguest's bedside
when she suddenly awakes...and asks after the welfare of her
pig! The mysterious young woman tells Nigel that the only
other thing she remembers is her first name, "Abby." Nigel
immediately takes a liking to Abby and sets out to learn her
identity. But when Conor begins spending time with Abby to
help her regain her memory, an infuriated Nigel presumes
that Conor is up to his usual roguish ways. And when Gus,
who is secretly in love with Conor, also believes that he is
seducing Abby, this foursome find themselves tangled in a
most twisted lover's knot.
