The premise is intriguing but ultimately the shallow 'relationship' between the hero and heroine, the poor characterisation and the clumsy treatment of Regency society overshadowed any pleasure I initially found in the book. (  ) Lind | Jun 30, 2008 |  At the tender age of 6, Danny was found near a trash dump with her nurse all cut up. Danny had a gash on her head and no memory. A young girl found her, trained her to steal and act like a boy. At age 20 or so she was discovered/used to steal for handsom Jeremy. She worked as his upstairs maid, but he was in love with her. She refused to be his mistress. She got her "proper" language back and when someone was trying to kill her; it was discovered she was the child of a wealthy family.

Johanna Lindsey brings to glorious life her beloved aristocratic family of adventurous rogues and spirited ladies as the Malorys confront the shocking news that Jeremy, the rakehell son of gentleman pirate James Malory, has fallen in love.
When Jeremy Malory hires Danny, a young woman who grew up on London's streets disguised as a boy, as his upstairs maid, he secretly intends to make her his mistress. But Danny surprises him with her dreams of becoming a refined lady and a gentleman's wife. As she transforms from urchin to elegant beauty before Jeremy's eyes, she unwittingly captivates the charming scoundrel. Now high society tongues are wagging: Who is this mysterious newcomer, and what is the truth about her past? No matter that a life-long adversary will go to any lengths to ensure Danny's downfall, Jeremy, who vowed never to succumb to matrimony, finds his resolve weakening as he pursues a woman whose strong, passionate nature rivals his own and promises the kind of challenge a Malory man can't resist.
