Setting is London, 1816. This is about the second member of the Bastion Club, Anthony Blake, Viscount Torrington, who is a target for all the match-making mamas in London. None of their daughters interest him. Then he meets Alicia who is determined but penniless, boldingly trying to launch her beautiful younger sister into London society and masquerading as a widow. When Blake finds Alicia standing over a dead body in his godmother's garden, his gut instinct says she is innocent.

Very good love story by Stephanie Laurens.
