When Nathaniel, Duke of Peckham, meets Charlotte, he's suspicious of her indifference. Too many women have sought - and failed - to catch him. Happily, Charlotte is more interested in dead pharaohs than English dukes and laughs at both him and his suspicions. Her resistance crumbles, however, when a debutante seeking to entrap Nathaniel gets murdered. All too soon, his reputation as a misogynist makes him a suspect, and Charlotte impulsively comes to his aid.Unfortunately, both are unaware that a highwayman interested in rich heiresses is following Charlotte, and that another debutante lies dead in Nathaniel's carriage. Some nights just don't go as planned.
