Fifth in the Tales of the Jewelled Men set in Georgian England from the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from Romantic Times.

She was a simple country miss caught up in a world of danger and romance . . .

Zoe Grainger arrived in London for a Season under the auspices of her dreadfully vain and disagreeable sponsor, Lady Clara Buttershaw. But even the awful Lady Buttershaw could not spoil Zoe's chances for love, especially when a chance encounter threw her in the way of Lieutenant Peregrine Cranford.

And as love embraced Zoe, so did danger. For when Zoe discovered that her brother had become the target of the nefarious League of Jewelled Men, she courageously endeavored to protect him—and the man who had come to claim her heart . . .
