In an effort to frighten his fiance's parents into allowing an early wedding, Simon Talbott convinces his devilish rakehell cousin, James Faring, the Marquis of Abbonley, to feign an interest in his fiance, Lady Angelique Graham. The plan, however, works too well, and it takes a bit of doing before all the lovers in the game are properly aligned. Traditional, lighthearted, and predictable, this country Regency features several standards of the subgenre, including an engaging, hoydenish heroine, a reformed rake hero, a heroic rescue, and an aborted trip to Gretna Green. The dialog and relationship between the hero and heroine work, as do some of the secondary characters, including a great lummox of a dog. Enoch is also the author of The Black Duke's Prize (Avon, 1995).
The lovely Angelique Graham knows her strengths-and patience is not one of them. So instead of waiting nine months to wed her beloved Simon, as per her overprotective parents' edict, Angelique decides to use Simon's cousin, the dashing Lord Faring-rake of all rakes-who has just returned from war, to throw her parents into a panic.
Though Angelique has plotted and planned every move, it seems that love has a different plan. When the game playing gets serious, will Angelique be able to resist the charms of Lord Faring? And once she discovers the man behind the legend, will she even want to?
