Lady Sophie Kyle is engaged to marry Lord Randal Ashby. The two have been in love since childhood, but two weeks before the wedding she decides he has been forced into a declaration and therefore doesn't really love her. In the dismals, she manages to get kidnapped. Beverly ( Lord Wraybourne's Betrothed, The Stanforth Secrets, LJ 6/15/89) builds her current novel with events and characters from previous ones. A reader with knowledge of the two earlier Regencies will understand the machinations of this one, for the denouement rests on previous knowledge. This novel can stand alone (barely), but is much better understood in context. Piers Verderan, the sinister, sardonic, and brooding antihero friend of Lord Randal is sure to be the hero of the next installment. Buy if you have Beverly's other books and they proved popular.-- Paula M. Zieselman, Debevoise & Plimpton, New York
