A passionate playwright, a headstrong lady . . . a love story for the ages.

Pragmatic Lady Carlotta Castlebury secretly adores the theatre. Enamored with the written and performed word, she writes play scripts in her journal, her most precious possession. One fateful afternoon in Hyde Park she loses it, only to discover soon after that the latest theatrical performance on Drury Lane sounds remarkably like her play. Yet the audacious liar taking credit for it is decidedly not her. Rather, the insufferable man is London's most popular playwright, Thatcher Goodrich. Lottie is going to march down to Rhodes Theatre and give the infuriatingly sexy writer a piece of her mind . . . and most assuredly none of her heart.

The third son of an impoverished baron, Thatcher has made his way in the world with his wit and a deft pen. When his muse abandons him and leaves him wordless exactly when King William personally requests a new play, Thatcher does what any desperate playwright would do: he finds one and claims it as his own! He doesn't expect the true author to barge into the theatre like a beautiful warrior queen and demand her work back.

A French seamstress, a hardened Bow Street Runner . . . can true love overcome their tragic past?

Juliette Toussaint cannot remember anything before three years ago when she woke in an alley covered in blood. Determined to bury that nightmare deep in the recesses of her mind, Juliette builds a vibrant new life as Madame Toussaint, the chicest and most popular new modiste in Mayfair. Life is wonderful until news circulates that the Revivalists, a group of aristocratic murderers, have returnedand she starts having flashes of horrible, terrifying memory. A Revivalists survivor, she realizes she is in danger and enlists the help of hardened Bow Street Runner, Captain Catamount Castlebury . . . a man claiming to be her lover!

Catamount's heart stopped feeling when his love disappeared. Presumed dead in the Revivalists' attack on Seven Dials, his heart stops completely when a Frenchwoman rushes through the front door of the Runner's headquarters, looking remarkably like his Julie. When she confesses her jumbled memories, he's sure its her. But Juliette requires some convincing.
