Lady Lillian St. James is in trouble. Her step-father is wanted for treason for his part in stealing a priceless diamond necklace meant as a gift to the prince regent from the king of Spain. She goes into hiding, posing as a kitchen maid, because although she had no part in the nefarious affair, she is shunned by society, and has no family to fall back on.The household in which she finds employment is that of Earl Dominic Redwick, the very man charged by the crown to find the missing necklace and the missing girl and her step-father.As one might imagine, Dominic is intrigued by his new employee, as she is by her new employer.This story has a lot going for it - intrigue, danger, romance, and interesting friends one can hope to see in later stories. It is well written, but I did find quite a few mistakes that could have been caught by a good editing job, and to me, the love scenes could have been better. But all in all, it was a delightful read and one I would heartily recommend.
