Publisher's Summary

With his older brother's betrothal announced, Lord Michael Cynster is freed of all familial expectations. But the allure of his previous hedonistic pursuits has paled. Then he learns of the mission his brother and his fiancée have been assisting with and volunteers to help by hunting down a hoard of gunpowder now stashed somewhere in London.

Michael's quest leads him to the Hendon Shipping Company, where his sole source of information is the fetchingly attractive Miss Cleome Hendon. When Michael asks about the carters who transported the gunpowder, Cleo offers him a bargain: she will lead him to the carters he seeks, but only if he agrees to include her as an equal partner in the mission.

But their investigation proves dangerous, and the further they go in tracing the gunpowder, the more deaths they uncover. Soon Michael and Cleo find themselves tangled in a fight for their lives - one that forces them to face what has grown between them, to seize and defend what they both see as their path to the greatest adventure of all: a shared life, a shared future, a shared love.

Brilliant

Absolutely loving this series & I'm looking forward to reading alot more from this fantastic author.

Excellent storyline & I love the subtle ways women back then managed to get around things.

Love the way life was lived back then, I really end up so engrossed into the story and I find it hard to put book down.

Wonderful Narrator could listen to him for hours.

Terrible voice for a hero

Started this book and was instantly irritated by the nasal pretentious speech of Michael. Hoped I'd remembered incorrectly and he wasn't the main character, but by ten minutes in it was clear there were hours more of this annoying voice. I'll buy the kindle and return this, it's really too unpleasant to suffer through a whole book.
