 Elfled Malloren is the only unwedded sister in the Malloren family, mostly due to her independent nature. However it cannot be helping that she has four rather dashing brothers who are profoundly overprotective. When Elfled has the opportunity to sneak off for an evening of fun and flirtation at Vauxhall without them breathing down her neck, she seizes it, but with dire consequences! Suddenly, she's thrown into a dangerous plot to kill the king, and her family's most dangerous enemy - the new Earl of Walgrave - is at the center of it.
You'll remember Fort, the new earl, from the first Malloren book - Lady Notorious. Chastity Ware's older brother, Fort is determined to right the wrongs of his sire, but also to take his revenge against the Mallorens who forced his hand in the past with tragic results. Elfled is a strong-willed heroine who complements Fort's strong personality and convictions. Elfled decides that Fort is a cause worth fighting for almost from the first, and their love story is a difficult but a satisfying one - for its heat and its healing.
