About this title

From the Inside Flap:

outdoes herself."
--Booklist
TWO OPPOSING HEARTS FIND DESIRE WHEN THEY LEAST EXPECT IT!
As a devious plot swirls to overthrow the monarchy, Gwendolyn Rossiter, whose brother leads the fight to defend the Crown, finds her lively wit and outspoken nature largely ignored by the haut ton. With one exception: August Falcon, a devilishly handsome resistance conspirator. Yet the passion Gwendolyn inspires in him is more rage at her audacity than tenderness. And if she is even mildly fond of him, she conceals it admirably.
But as riots in London escalate, and the League of Jewelled Men brings its fiendish machinations to the fore, Gwendolyn will suddenly find unexpected love in the arms of a man who swore he was immune to her charms. . . .

From Library Journal:

In this final volume in Veryan's "Jewelled Men" series (e.g., Never Doubt I Love, St. Martin's, 1995), the "mandarin" in the title refers to the mixed blood of August Falcon. Falcon is one of the leaders of the Preservers in that group's battles with the League of Jewelled Men, who would like nothing better than to overthrow the monarchy. The league tries to pit Falcon against James Morris, the other leader of the Preservers. Further complicating the situation is Morris's affection for Falcon's sister. Fans of the series will appreciate the resolution in this concluding installment, which is written in Veryan's inimitable style. Recommended wherever the series is popular.
