I gave this story 4 stars only because I could see this as a full length novel.Lady Sophie is a beauty who has never been in love. She has had many suitors though and has become bored with all of them. She marries in haste and realizes she really doesn't like her new groom. So on her wedding night she and her maid steal away from her new husband.As she and her maid escape, through the rain, they come upon the only establishment open in the area. As if on cue, Lady Sophia sees a very handsome gentleman who looks directly at her. William Birmingham is at the tavern waiting for Isadore. Isadore is smuggling a huge amount of gold bullion and William is her contact.Sophia pretends to be Isadore and her maid pretends to be her mute, older sister. Humor abounds as fabrications of truth are made and the hilarity continues until Lord Finkel (the new groom) steals her back.This is a good short story that I finished in one afternoon. I will be reading Ms. Bolen's other stories very soon.
