Caroline Weston has always been dismissed as frivolous—until her dearest friend Venetia faces a fate worse than death: marriage to the sinister Lord Windermere.
When Venetia is kidnapped and her childhood friend Henry Ashworth rides to the rescue, Caroline knows she must act. Even if it means disguising herself as a stable boy and risking everything.
But heroics come with a price.
Honor demands Henry marry Venetia after they’re discovered unchaperoned, leaving Caroline to watch the man she’s secretly loved all her life prepare to wed another.
As Lord Windermere’s villainous schemes escalate and mysterious accusations threaten to destroy Henry’s reputation, Caroline discovers that sometimes a lady must save the gentleman—and that fortune truly does favor the frivolous.
From the drawing rooms of London to a heart-stopping hot-air balloon escape, Caroline embarks upon the race of her life to outwit kidnappers, unmask conspiracies, and prove that love conquers all.
