Sebastian Cynster knows time is running out. If he doesnt choose a wife soon, his female relatives will line up to assist him. Yet the current debutantes do not appeal. Where is he to find the right lady to be his marchioness? Then Drake Varisey, eldest son of the Duke of Wolverstone, asks for Sebastians aid.
Having assumed his fathers mantle in protecting queen and country, Drake must go to Ireland in pursuit of a dangerous plot. But hes received an urgent missive from Lord Ennis, an Irish peerEnnis has heard something Drake needs to know and insists Drake attend an upcoming house party at his Kent estate so he can reveal his information face-to-face.
Sebastian has assisted Drake before and, long ago, had a liaison with Lady Ennis. Drake insists Sebastian is just the man to be his surrogate at the house partythe guests will imagine all manner of possibilities and be blind to Sebastians true purpose.
His first task is to inveigle Antonia Rawlings, a lady he has known all her life, to include him as her escort to the house party. Although hes seen little of Antonia in recent years, Sebastian is confident of gaining her support.
Eldest daughter of the Earl of Chillingworth, Antonia has abandoned the search for a husband and plans to use the week of the house party to decide what to do with her life. Consequently, on hearing Sebastians request and an explanation of what lies behind it, she seizes on the call to action.
But while joining the house party proves easy, the gathering is thrown into chaos when Lord Ennis is murderedjust before he was to speak with Sebastian. Worse, Enniss last words, gasped to Sebastian, are Gunpowder. Here. Gunpowder? And here? Where?
With a killer continuing to stalk the halls, side by side, Sebastian and Antonia search for answers, and all the while, the childhood connection that has always existed between them strengthens and blooms into something so much more.
