Description
In the aftermath of the failed Jacobite Rising, siblings Prudence and Robin Merriot assume daring disguises to evade the authorities: she poses as a young gentleman, while he takes on the identity of a beautiful heiress. Their flight brings them into the company of the spirited Letitia Grayson and the formidable Sir Anthony Fanshawe, drawing all four into a dangerous tangle of mistaken identities, romantic intrigue, duels, and hidden fortunes. Set against the vivid world of Georgian England, the novel combines adventure and suspense with sparkling wit, sibling loyalty, and the complications of love across social and assumed boundaries. With its resourceful characters, lively reversals, and elegant period atmosphere, it showcases the charm and comic sophistication of its author’s historical romances.
