"A perfect blend of humor with a slight amount of suspense to spice up the romance, I loved this book.  When Lady Amelia sets out to clean up Blanchland and destroys so many of the current owners collection, I rolled with laughter.  Don't miss this one!" Leanne Davis, Regency List

Miss Sarah Sheridan lives a quiet life in Bath as companion to her cousin. Then two events upset her calm existence. The first is the delivery of a mysterious letter from her deceased brother, hinting at a mystery only Sarah can solve. The second is the arrival in Bath of Guy, Viscount Renshaw. Guy is the son of Sarah's godfather and has a shocking reputation as a rake. And when he sets his sights on Sarah the sparks of attraction fly... But does Guy have another interest in Sarah apart from the romantic? Is he also interested in the secret that Blanchland Hall is hiding?
