SHE WAS A SIMPLE COUNTRY MISS--CAUGHT UP IN A WORLD OF DANGER AND ROMANCE!
Zoe Grainger arrived in London for a Season under the auspices of her dreadfully vain and disagreeable sponsor, Lady Clara Buttershaw. But even the awful Lady Buttershaw could not spoil Zoe's chances for love, especially when a chance encounter threw her in the way of Lieutenant Peregrine Cranford.
And as love embraced Zoe, so did danger. For when Zoe discovered that her brother had become the target of the nefarious League of Jewelled Men, she courageously endeavored to protect him--and the man who had come to claim her heart. . . .

In this installment of the ongoing saga of the Tales of the Jewelled Men, Veryan reveals more villains and fills in more details in the traitorous plot to overthrow the Hanoverian king on the English throne. Peregrine Cranford, missing a foot from battle, and Zoe Grainger meet under the most inauspicious circumstances and despise each other before they are formally introduced. Naturally mutual hatred evolves into mutual fondness, and soon they find themselves being utilized in the plotting of the Jewelled Men. Characters from the previous four novels in this series slide in and out, but Peregrine and Zoe are the romantic and adventurous focus of this latest tale, which may not be as heart stopping as some of the others but is still a fine work of historical romance.
