Cornelia Dagenham and her sister-in-law, both widows, along with their children and their friend, Livia, move to London for the Season. Their plan is to launch Livy into society. The house she's inherited in Cavendish Square contains many secrets; one of which is a trinket hidden there by a French spy.

Viscount Harry Bonham is after that trinket. Having first tried to purchase said house and being refused, he's left with the attractive alternative of seducing one of the ladies to gain entry. Cornelia, although not his first choice, falls into his trap. Though not part of his plan, Harry falls in love with the beautiful Cornelia. Unfortunately, French spies are also on the trail of the trinket, putting Cornelia and her family at risk. And Harry is hard pressed to keep her safe and maintain his cover.

This is the first in Ms. Feather's Cavendish Square trilogy. Like all of her books, it holds you captive from the first page, leaving you on pins and needles waiting for the next book. I love trilogies. They give you a chance to revisit past characters. Bonham is heart-stopping, while Cornelia is funny, honest and downright irresistible. Feather is one of my favorite authors and A WICKED GENTLEMAN did not disappoint.
