Our heroine is Lady Taffeta Grantham who is an adorable minx who goes her own way and doesn't give a hoot about being a proper Lady!  She lives with her brother Seth, The Duke of Grantham who is waiting to turn 21 and they are very close to their Uncle Nigel who isn't much older than them and has grown up with them.  They share everything including political ideas which get them into trouble.  They are aiding the "Luddites"-people who work in the mills in terrible conditions and horrible pay.  They become Robin Hoods-stealing from the rich and giving to the mill people.  Then comes along  Lord Thurston Tarrant Hotspur who is a rake and a connoisseur of women and is known as Hotspur. The trio try robbing him by mistake and he realizes who they are.  He lets them go under the condition that Taffeta is in his debt and he can collect anytime.Seth turns 21, so he, Taffeta and Uncle Nigel go to London where Seth can sit in Parliament and Taffeta can have her season in London. Here is where Hotspur comes back into their lives and still with the debt hanging over Taffeta's head.  Needless to say she gets upset with him and wants the debt to be paid.  Sparks start to fly with these two.  Add into the mix Lady Watson who wants Hotspur for herself and The Lord James Fenmore who wants Taffeta! These two collaborate to help each other.  Throw into the mix someone acting like the trio not only robbing but also killing which our trio did not do. Life gets very complicated in London!You'll have to read the book yourself to find out the outcome and believe me you'll love it just as I did.  Claudy's books grab you into the stories from the beginning to the end. You have passion, mystery, evil intentions and a good romp!!
