From Library Journal
Determined to protect her younger sister from the lecherous advances of their stepfather and to see her well married, fiery Charity Leonard embarks on a daring scheme: Posing as a recent widow, she takes her sister, Prudence, to London for the Season. However, Charity is faced with the devastating possibility of having her charade exposed by a dangerous, attractive, and observant rake, the Earl of Tyndale. Well-drawn, and nice sympathetic characters; descriptions and dialog that provide both a good sense of the period; and some nice writing recommend this traditional, thoughtfully written Regency. Mack (A Temporary Betrothal, Signet, 1995) lives in Virginia.
