Outraged by a powerful lord's systematic attack on women's rights in Parliament, the Academy summons its brightest--and most bitter--pupil to infiltrate the odious man's inner circle. A deal is struck: bring down the viscount, and Miss Euphemia Flite will finally earn her freedom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut betting shop owner Gabriel Royce has other plans. The viscount is the perfect pawn to insulate Gabriel's underworld empire from government interference. He's not about to let some crinoline-clad miss destroy his carefully constructed enterprise--no matter how captivating he finds her threats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the rookeries of St. Giles to the ballrooms of Mayfair, Euphemia and Gabriel engage in a battle of wits and wills that's complicated by a blossoming desire.
