Miles Lawrence Hawkins, quinto conte di Archewyne, è solo e l'ultimo della sua linea nobiliare, fatta eccezione per una giovane figlia, e se n’è fatto una ragione... Eppure l’inaspettato incontro con un’ attraente ladra all’interno della sua biblioteca fa nascere in lui dei dubbi. Attirato nel folle piano della donna di recuperare delle mummie rubate da Londra, incluso dal British Museum, la accompagna spinto solo dalla curiosità. Essere catturato dalla ricerca della lady e incuriosito dal suo talento nel violare la legge è una distrazione necessaria per alleviare lo stress dovuto alle sue stesse disgrazie. Lady Emmaline Darling, abile ladra e figlia unica del conte di St. Ives, è vittima della maledizione di una mummia. Credendo di essere stata maledetta per il debole di suo padre di trafugare i reperti egizi, ha promesso di restituire una coppia di mummie al loro luogo di riposo eterno per salvare la vita del padre e la sua. Essere scoperta da Miles non faceva parte dei suoi piani, così come non lo era cadere vittima del suo fascino, ma farà qualunque cosa per liberare anche lui dalla maledizione dato che le loro storie sono collegate in modo troppo complesso per attribuire i mali dell’uomo solo alla malasorte. Quando un pari legato a entrambi muore e i gioielli di Emmaline vengono trovati sulla scena del delitto, Miles ha l’obbligo d’onore di offrirle e darle la sua protezione. Nonostante il suo rifiuto, sono attirati dal desiderio e circondati dallo scandalo e quando Miles viene richiamato ancora una volta a imbarcarsi in una missione segreta per la Corona, deve liberarsi di tutto ciò che comporta una responsabilità, ma tenere Emmaline fuori dai guai, e fuori dalla sua mente, è più facile a dirsi che a farsi.

It's a beautiful city, with its cobblestone streets and antique hitching posts. It can be noisy and even dangerous at times, but Amanda feels relatively happy and snug in her attractive little townhouse. If only her mother would stop lecturing her on the joys of matrimony, everything would be fine. Life's all right as it is--even minus men and cigarettes. Until one rainy morning in April! The day starts off routinely enough with feeding Macavity, the resident feline, and reading the paper. Then the trouble begins. It's not even eight o'clock when the doorbell rings. Amanda rarely receives uninvited guests for breakfast, so she's amazed when Liza Nichols shows up on her doorstep. Liza, a colleague at Philadelphia Prep, is more an acquaintance than a friend. She says she's exhausted; she's been walking for hours and has nowhere to go. Can she come in and rest? Why would the beautiful Liza, a talented amateur actress engaged to marry a wealthy politician, be walking the streets at dawn? Amanda can't imagine, but she has no time to probe. She's already late for school. Liza can stay for a nap and let herself out later. Liza stays, but what happens after that is something Amanda could never have guessed. It's no fun to come home to a body in front of your fireplace. And it's even less fun when the police assume you may have something to do with the unhappy event. Officer C. K. Mackenzie can be a Southern charmer, but he seems to doubt Amanda's story. Or does he? He sees through her in an unusual and discomforting way. And he reads Beowulf, always a suspicious sign in a cop. One thing's for sure: He needs her help in solving the case, but first she must gain his trust. In Amanda Pepper, author Gillian Roberts has created a stunning new mystery heroine--bright, clever, vulnerable, funny. Amanda and C.K. make a memorable investigative pair, and Philadelphia is the perfect setting for this exciting mystery debut. Bookshare has books 2, 3, and 4 in this series
