When a lady goes looking for her missing brother, the adventure leads to dangerous desire in this Regency romance by the New York Times bestselling author.

Miss Roma Allendyle detested behaving like a proper lady, and all the patronizing nonsense that came along with it. After all, she could outride and outshoot any gentleman. When her brother, an agent of the Crown, suddenly vanishes, she sees no reason not to go looking for him herself—even if doing so requires her to disguise herself as a grubby lad.

Roma expects to face challenges, but not to be targeted by a mysterious ambush. Nor did she expect to be rescued by the darkly handsome Lord Giles Carlton, the Season's prime catch. Though she is grateful to be alive, Roma is incensed by Giles's arrogance—especially when he insists on helping with her search. But there is yet another surprise in store. For in Giles, Roma just may find a will and passion to match her own—and an outlandish ploy that could lead to true love.
