✦ Synopsis

Scarlet OHara meets the Scarlet Pimpernel. Why must Lord St. Evert dress like an overdone Dandy? His outlandish wardrobe belies his powerful build and the hard unyielding lines of his face. Whoever he is, hes ruining Elizabeth Hamptons desperate scheme to secure a rich husband. Terribly vexing, to arrive at the most fashionable Breakfast Party of the Season wearing a perfectly stunning Chinese silk gown, only to discover Lord St. Evert is clad in unmentionables cut from identical cloth. Humiliating. Insufferable! Why, the devil, must he show up in fabrics Elizabeth searched so diligently to procure? To say nothing of the long hours she spent secretly stitching her creations together. He must be stopped. She is determined to spy out his perplexing game, and put an end to his interference. St. Evert despises pretension of any kind. He cannot abide the self-important airs put on by some members of the Ton and takes pleasure in making a mockery of Brummells fashion strictures. Conceited frauds! Hadnt his grandfathers snobbery made his mothers life a misery? All the more maddening to discover that the one woman who captures his interest is the biggest pretender of all. He vows to teach Miss Elizabeth Hampton a lesson she wont soon forget.
