Heartbroken by the loss of her brother, Miss Leonora Craven vows to uncover the truth about his "accident", which seems to have been anything but. Jonathan Craven was involved with the Lords of Anarchy, a notorious driving club, and Leonora can't help but suspect foul play. But the only way she can infiltrate their reckless inner circle is to enlist the help of Jonny's closest ally, Lord Frederick Lisle. If only he didn't also happen to be the man who broke Leonora's heart....

Frederick isn't surprised to find gorgeous, headstrong Leonora playing detective, but he knows that the Lords of Anarchy mean business-and he has no choice but to protect her. A sham engagement to Leonora will allow Frederick to bring her into the club and along for the ride. But it isn't long before pretending to be lovers leads to very real passion. With everything to lose, is their tempestuous affair worth the risk?

Critic reviews

"This is a fresh and promising start to the series." ( Publishers Weekly)

The plot never quite developed and what wrap up came very rushed at the end. I love Anne Flosnik, but even her narration couldn't save the story.

So boring

Resolutions were weak & unsatisfying - the romance & family issue left undone, the murderers left unpunished (exiled, but still free), & murdered/abused people left unavenged. Even the evil one's wife was left unresolved about her choice/fate. It was like, as the reader, I still can't figure out why I read the book when nothing really significantly changed. Exile is not the same as jail/death sentence. Engagement is still not marriage or family resolution. Toasting a dead loved one is not the same as avenging them. It's perplexing about what this author hoped to accomplish after weaving such an intricate set up of evil & love-pining & intrigue & supposed proof only to lead nowhere on every front.

Lots of Angst, Love, Intrigue, & Dissatisfaction
