Rogue's Honor (Saints of Seven Dials Series, Book 1)
In an effort to escape her stepmother's matrimonial machinations  and indulge her bluestocking tendencies, Lady Pearl Moreston  dons a servant's garb and heads off with her maid to work for an  evening in the kitchen of one of London's finer homes. But her  adventure has near disastrous consequences, and unable to return  home without betraying who she is, she ends up staying with Luke  St. Clair, a thief and legendary Saint of the Seven Dials.  Attracted to each other, Luke and Pearl are startled to end up  in an embrace, a situation that sends Pearl home in the middle  of the night and Luke determined to find her. An intelligent  heroine with more on her mind than marriage, a socially engaged  hero who is much more than he pretends to be, and an enjoyable  plot result in a sensual, fast-paced romance that touches on a  number of social issues and delves, however briefly, into the  darker side of the Regency period. Hiatt (Ship of Dreams), is a  popular, award-winning writer and lives in Indiana.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
