Lady Star Claudy Conn

Never, in all her twenty years of life, had Star Berkley seen the likes of Sir Edward. He was so damned arrogant, so damned fashionable, and so damned insolent?and he was the most handsome man she had ever come across! Sir Edward, for his part, could do without the pert country airs of a chit like Miss Berkley. She was impish, plain-spoken, and obviously not his sort, which was just as well, for it seemed she had stolen the heart of his closest friend. Then Sir Edward stumbled onto a most sordid secret: the Berkleys? estate teetered on ruination, and brother and sister were being brutally blackmailed by a vile den of thieves. Sir Edward meant to save them, if Star would allow him, and he was a determined man, determined that she would allow him ? everything.
