Not only does she hope to find adventure and True Love, she is determined to meet and assist the fabled Saint of Seven Dials, whom she has long idolized. His task is made harder by Violet’s plans for her time in London. Knowing all this, her brother asks his friend Lord Rushford to keep a close eye on her during her second attempt at a London Season-a task the earl is reluctant to take on, given his most inconvenient attraction to the madcap Miss Turpin. Now she’s determined to ride in fox hunts, even though that’s not something ladies do. A few months later, she eloped with a sweet-talking fortune hunter and was only saved from ruin in the nick of time. Her first attempt at a London debut was short and disastrous because her love of excitement far outstripped her concern for the proprieties. Violet Turpin has always lived for adventure and romance, a combination that has more than once gotten her into trouble. The course of true love never did run smooth… Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author.

The risk is enormous, but Lady Pearl's sweet kisses may just be worth it.This is a work of fiction. The last thing he needs in his life is a beautiful simpleton in need of protection.
Clair lives a double life, pretending to be a gentleman while in reality sustaining himself and the needy as the notorious Robin Hood-type thief, the Saint of Seven Dials. But soon she begins to suspect that her rescuer is far more than the common servant he seemed at first. When she is rescued from the near-disaster of recognition by a charming serving-man, Pearl pretends to be simpleminded to safeguard herself from any unwanted advances. To escape her stepmother's matchmaking machinations, Lady Pearl runs away, pretending to be a common housemaid, with the help of her abigail.
