Naïve and unschooled in the social graces, Rowena
Riverstone nevertheless knows a scoundrel when she sees
one. The dashing, devilish Noel Paxton is obviously a
rogue of the first water. Why should he suddenly be so
interested in an unpolished country girl? But the bigger
mystery is why ever-so-serious Rowena responds to him with
shivers, light-heartedness ... and an aching desire to be
lost in his embrace.
Who is the real Rowena Riverstone — an awkward country
beauty ... or a cunning traitor to the crown? Noel has
taken on the guise of the legendary Saint of Seven Dials
to expose a dangerous spy in London — and Rowena may be in
league with his prime suspect. Still, there's an
enchanting innocence about her that seems so real, and a
passionate inner fire Noel longs to release with a
sensuous kiss. Yet if he is mistaken about her loyalties,
he would be escorting the woman he is growing to love into
a most perilous world indeed.
