What if Scarlet O'Hara met the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel-under the watchful eye of a wildly meddlesome aunt?
Elizabeth Hampton has one goal: to marry well and save her family's crumbling estate. With her father missing in America and her brother barely keeping them afloat, she's stitched all her hopes into a dazzling silk gown-her secret weapon for the Season's most fashionable breakfast party.
But Aunt Honore has other plans. She's meddling again, this time in the life of her mysterious nephew, Lord St. Evert. When he arrives wearing breeches made from the exact same silk, Elizabeth's triumph turns to disaster. He's infuriating. He's mysterious. And he's clearly hiding something. Elizabeth is determined to uncover his secrets before he ruins everything. But what begins as a battle of wits becomes a fight for truth, survival, and a love worth risking everything.
Elizabeth set out to save her family with a needle and a plan-she never expected love to unravel it all.
