Lady Pearl Moreston would first sacrifice her virtue and
live life as a chambermaid before she'd acquiesce to her
stepmother's demands and wed overbred Lord Bellowsworth!
In fact, posing as a maid is precisely what Pearl does to
escape her fate — a deception that could prove disastrous
for the impetuous bluestocking. Luckily, Luke St. Clair
comes to her rescue. Now here is a man worth losing one's
innocence to: strong, dashing, daring, worldly...and nary
a drop of noble blood in him!
Luke is intrigued by this minx who seems unusually knowing
for her tender years...and whose intoxicating beauty makes
him light-headed in her presence. But Luke is not the
adventurer the winsome Pearl believes him to be. And
though her soft, succulent lips are begging to be kissed,
Luke is honor-bound to never reveal to her his true
identity. Yet how long can passion's flames be restrained
before two delightful deceivers are forced to drop their
masks and surrender to the sweet, sensual fire?
