London's social season is in full swing, and Victorian aristocracy can't stop whispering about a certain gentleman who claims to be the direct descendant of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. But he's not the only topic of wagging tongues. Drawing rooms, boudoirs, and ballrooms are abuzz with the latest news of an audacious cat burglar who has been systematically stealing valuable items that once belonged to the ill-fated queen. Light gossip turns serious when the owner of one of the pilfered treasures is found murdered, and the mysterious thief develops a twisted obsession with Lady Emily Ashton. It will take all of Emily's wit and perseverance to unmask her stalker and ferret out the murderer, while faced with a brewing scandal that threatens both her reputation and her romance with her late husband's best friend, the dashing Colin Hargreaves.

I found the second book in the Lady Emily series to be just as entertaining as the first book, [b:And Only to Deceive 288159 And Only to Deceive (Lady Emily, #1) Tasha Alexander http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173437188s/288159.jpg 806780]. The characters are spunky yet stay within the realm of the time period. The addition of Lady EMily's interest in Greek antiquities adds a unique angle to the stories. And the flirting between Lady Emily and Colin Hargreaves are delightfully sweet yet passionate. I am looking forward to another adventure with these characters.
