She plays a deadly game, but nothing is as dangerous as love.
Benedict de Malorie, Earl of Trevisan, can never forget the masked woman
he met one night at a London pleasure garden. The clever pickpocket
stole his heart and his family's prized jewel - the Malorie Phoenix. But
the family treasure reappears in Benedict's darkest hour, returned by
its thief, along with the unexpected gift of his infant daughter.
Believing that she is dying, Jenny Smith leaves her daughter in the
custody of the baby's blueblood father. Seven years later she finds
herself in good health and alone, yearning for her only child. To raise
enough money to support them both, she takes part in a daring escapade
that requires her to impersonate a woman of quality. She fools the ton
and Benedict himself.
When Jenny finds herself entangled in a murderous plot against Benedict,
the father of her child, her carefully laid plans begin to fall apart.
All she wants is her daughter back, but she never thought she'd fall in
love with Benedict. Revealing her part in the plot means she will almost
certainly lose Benedict and their daughter forever. But continuing to
play her role puts them all in terrible danger.
