From "one of the most respected Regency writers" comes a delightful romantic tale of two nobles who find each other—and true love—on the stage (Library Journal).

After leading troops on the Continent, Lord Grayson is uneasy in his new role as a mannered gent. But adventure comes his way again when he is coerced into delivering a message to one Katherine Billings. On the way, Grayson is injured by a highwayman hired by his duplicitous nephew. Then, staggering into a barn to hide, he discovers a play in progress—with the lovely Kate actually playing a role!

It seems that out of necessity and a twist of fate, Kate fell in with a troupe of actors and found a new life for herself. What's a cynical marquis to do?

Using his common name of Hal Hampton, Grayson joins the troupe, partly to protect himself from his nephew, but mostly to get to know Kate better. They both fall under the spell of the poor but talented players around them—and fall for each other in a far more dramatic way in this "utterly charming and lovable" romance from one of the genre's finest talents (All About Romance).
