Thief or gentleman, he is uniquely dangerous!

Governess Matty Mather has grown to love her pupils of the Dove family. When a borrowed ring is stolen from Catherine Dove and her friend, now in their first London Season, the redoubtable Matty goes alone to Maida Pleasure Gardens to confront the thief – who turns out to be outrageous, charming and utterly mysterious.

Francisco de Salgado has been long employed by the British government to take care of insoluble problems, both home and abroad. Returning to England to resign before he loses his soul entirely, he accepts one final mission that he regards as both foolish and beneath him. Making a rare mistake, he returns to Maida to right it – only to be faced with a severe young woman demanding he return the ring he stole.

So begins an attraction that is both unwise and irresistible. Mutual suspicion dissolves eventually into an alliance to discover who is behind a plot to overthrow the British government and why. And the eventual solution will involve several old friends from the previous Pleasure Garden books.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Miss Matty Mathers is very happy in her work as a governess,  much to the dismay of her mother and sister.  One of the girls she looks after comes to her with a problem.  Hopefully Matty can help her.  
Mr Francis has worked for the English Crown for many years, even though England is not the land of his birth.  He can blend into many situations. Our hero is feeling the pressure from his way of life and gets a little careless.  
A very exciting historical romance with a mystery to solve.  This book is part of a series and if you have read any of the previous stories you will recognise some of the characters.  However you can easily enjoy each book on it's own.  They are all full of fabulous characters and lots fun.  
I have loved all of them.

Mary Lancaster's first love was historical fiction. Since then she has grown to love coffee, chocolate, red wine and black and white films - simultaneously where possible. She hates housework.

As a direct consequence of the first love, she studied history at St. Andrews University, after which she worked variously as editorial assistant, researcher and librarian. Although she has always written stories for her own entertainment, she began to make serious efforts toward publication in order to distract herself from a job she disliked. She now writes full time at her seaside home in Scotland, which she shares with her husband and three children.
