What the cover says:
When Robert Kemble stumbles across Victoria Lyndon in a hedgerow maze, he can't believe his eyes. The girl who'd torn him in tow - who let him plan an elopement and then left him standing by the side of the road - is suddenly within arm's reach, and still impossible to resist.
Victoria's father told her an early would never marry a vicar's daughter, and he was right. Robert had promised her marriage, but then danced off to London, leaving her thinking that he had jilted her. So when Robert offers her a new job - as his mistress - she refuses, unable to sacrifice her honour, even for him.
But now Robert won't take no for an answer, and vows to make her his, through any means possible...
Julia Quinn's novels are Georgette Heyer meets modern chick-lit, and are a delight to read. The lead characters are both loveable and the plotline provides many opportunity for amusement. Nothing too serious, but very witty and a good escapist read.
