In this regency romance, our leading lady, Julianna is desperate enough to steal a valuable family heirloom, a rare pearl, from one of London's biggest rakes in order to feed the children in an orphanage she secretly runs. She steals into Alasdair's bedroom in the night, gets caught, has a gun pointed at her, cuts a deal with the 'gentleman'...Okay, fade to black here...;) and slips away before dawn.What follows is a game of cat and mouse, with the tension between Julianna and Alasdair at a boiling point throughout the story.The characters were brilliant, colorful and often humorous, especially devilishly rakish Roger, one of Alasdair's best friends! The descriptions of the streets of London were beautiful, alive, the plot, well done with just enough spice!This edition was provided by Netgalley and Random House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
