The Season has yet to begin, and the second member of the Bastion Club,
tall, handsome Anthony Blake, Viscount Torrington, is already a target
for every matchmaking mama in London. None of their flighty daughters
can fix his interest, but a certain lady does...
Alicia is living a deception. Desperation has caused the determined but
penniless lady to boldly launch her ravishing younger sister into the
ton and have her make a spectacular match. By masquerading as the
widowed "Mrs. Carrington" Alicia can act as the perfect chaperone...but
fashionable ladies are not accused of murder...
When Tony Blake discovers Alicia standing over a dead body in his
godmother's garden, every instinct tells him she is innocent. His
connections allow him to take control of the investigation, his social
prominence provides her public support, but it is more than honor that
compels him to protect her and to do everything in his seductive power
to make her his.
