No simpering girl or arrogant lord here! I loved the two main characters and the plot.Her season in London lasted only 2 weeks, cut short by her fathers sickness. Now 2 years later she doesn't have money, family or suitors, but with her position as a paid companion for an older lady her life isn't bad. She does get to go to London parties even if her status makes her invisible to most.He was brought up in a working family never dreaming fate would someday hand him a title. Now he is just trying to get it all right, running a house, riding a horse, dancing, and talking to the silly girls that see his title and not him. And he's supposed to marry one of them?After seeing her mother's necklaces, whose theft sent her father into his decline, she needs help solving a 2 year old crime. He spent years working as a constable, how could he resist a damsel in distress?My one complaint? There wasn't enough time in this short book to go from innocent country young lady with only few balls under her belt and no experience with men to someone begging to have sex, but somehow it happened with one kiss here. It feels like the author thinks, "If I don't put pages and pages of sex in here no one with read it." I felt the tension between them when he found her in the study and the surprise when she took his hand much sexier and wished there were more scenes like that.
