Description

Lady Louisa cannot believe both of her friends are married! Although still called upon for her fashion sense and decorating acumen, she wants more in life. She wins a bidding war for a gilded carriage clock, curiously inciting the ire of the handsome but taciturn Lord Wycliffe.

Lord Wycliffe, a former agent for the Home Office, is obsessed with bringing down the Rogue's Alliance. A set of carriage clocks holds the key to finding out who runs the criminal coalition, and one of the timepieces now belongs to a maddeningly charming miss, Lady Louisa.

Working with Cecil to thwart the RA, Louisa wonders what will remain of the man she has come to care for if he exacts his revenge on the cabal. And Cecil worries that without the need to bring down the Rogue's Alliance, the fire will have gone from his soul. Will the beautiful and stimulating Lady Louisa then find him so irresistible?
