In an effort to frighten his fiancee's parents into allowing an early wedding, Simon Talbott convinces his devilish rakehell cousin, James Faring, the Marquis of Abbonley, to feign an interest in his fiancee, Lady Angelique Graham. The plan, however, works too well, and it takes a bit of doing before all the lovers in the game are properly aligned. Traditional, lighthearted, and predictable, this country Regency features several standards of the subgenre, including an engaging, hoydenish heroine, a reformed rake hero, a heroic rescue, and an aborted trip to Gretna Green. The dialog and relationship between the hero and heroine work, as do some of the secondary characters, including a great lummox of a dog. Enoch is also the author of The Black Duke's Prize (Avon, 1995).
