Synopsis

Honoria Blake knows she must have had a moment of madness when she accepted a summons by the Scarlet Pimpernel to travel to revolutionary Paris and help his League. She's an expert forger and glad her services can be of use, but the violence of the Reign of Terror has her longing for her quiet, unobtrusive life in London. Then a bloody man staggers to the door of the house where she's hiding, claiming he was sent by the Pimpernel. Recently escaped from La Force prison, the former Marquis de Montagne is sinfully handsome and charming. He's also desperate enough to kidnap Honoria. So much for her return to the quiet life.

Laurent is a consummate rake, but even he is captivated by the beautiful Honoria. Laurent cares almost nothing for his own life, but he was always close to the royal family and the little princess was like a sister to him. He will risk everything to save her from a life of imprisonment and possible execution. His plan is risky and surely doomed, but if he can convince Honoria and the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel to help him, it just might succeed. The only question is how far he's willing to go and whether he's willing to risk the life of the only woman he's ever loved to save a doomed princess.

Contains mature themes.

Honoria Blake had lived a quiet, boring life in London; she had hoped it would change the moment her services were requested by the League of the Pimpernel, and that she could make a difference.
