The story begins in the year 1770 ... Description from the book back cover: Heloise Edwina Marchant longs for the beauty and comfort of her former life, before she was forced to flee her family home. Coming to London in the guise of a boy, she has learnt the hard way how to survive among the hovels and alleyways of St Giles. There is shame in having to pick the pockets of unsuspecting passers-by and the inevitable happens - she is caught! The gentleman who seizes hold of her is not angry for long. In fact, his firm kindness is almost her undoing. For Adam, Earl of Taplow, has come to St Giles with a purpose - and she will help him if she doesn't want to be reported as a thief to the authorities. But how can she agree, when at any moment this good-looking man could find out that he is a she?
