Fans of Julia Quinn will love this romp through Regency London through the eyes of an American with Independent Ideas.
A treasure lost...
American Sara Whately came to England with a single goal: recover a long-lost family treasure. Her father had long ago renounced his title and abandoned his country, but desperate financial straits call for desperate measures. Gaining access won't be easy. The jewels are hidden on an estate Sara's grandfather lost long ago in an unlucky turn of the cards. And then there's the vexing, villainous, valiant Viscount Reath...
A jewel of a woman...
Sinclair Stratton, Lord Reath has always gotten everything he wants - money, privilege, and woman. But after ten years in India, he's returned to England, ready to make amends for his youthful follies. He plans to return his ill-gotten estate to its rightful owner, but the man is impossible to find. And despite still being one of the most sought-after rakes in town, the bold American beauty he keeps encountering seems to be immune to his charms and dashing good looks.
While Sara has promised to not just search for her grandfather's jewels, but make an attempt at fitting into society, it might just be that Viscount Reath is the treasure she actually needs.

This is the second book in The Merry Men Quartet, four friends whose stories had to be told.
