Lorelei Lindon, fan of books about highwaymen, ghosts and intrigues, finds herself bored while she and her sister are staying with a close family friend. Hearing a story about a ghost being seen on a road close by in the past, she goes out alone one night to see for herself; she doesn't find a ghost but she does meet Alastair Tilbury, Earl of Winbourne when she comes upon his disabled carriage. No names are exchanged, Lorelei has on a veil to disguise her features also but he notes her blonde hair.. She offers to take the Earl to the next village and he accepts; he also steals a kiss before they arrive and unbeknown to Lorelei, also her mother's pendant. When they meet again, he recognizes her. she recognizes his voice and learns that he has a bad reputation. She therefore pretends not to know him and he begins a game of pursuit. Lorelei doesn't want anyone to know of their previous association and pretends to ignore him, which is kind of difficult when him making innuendo statements, showing up all the time and then swinging her pendant back and forth in front of people. Their cat and mouse game offers humor and passion.
