Latest in her "C" series of Regency-set romances (e.g., The Chance), this warmly romantic tale finally settles the matrimonial affairs of the marriage-shy Earl of Drummond when an ambush sends him badly wounded to the home of Alexandria Gascoyne and into her heart as well. Nicely sprinkled with characters and references from other books in the series, this witty, well-crafted tale nevertheless stands on its own and features a full complement of appealing, beautifully drawn characters, graceful language, and excellent period description. Layton is a popular, widely respected writer of Regencies and Regency-set historical romances. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
