Description

Still unwed at twenty-one, an unconventional high-spirited woman finds her affections sought by a handsome, devilishly charming Earl, who is nicknamed "The Ideal" by the ton--for his combination of wealth and looks. Though at first she fights his advances, slowly she forms a heated alliance with him. But sparring with words soon turns into a succumbing passion...

Miss Treadwell's mother, an impovrished baron's widow, supports them by holding seances and finding missing items. Lord Hyatt is there to ask for their help in finding his missing fiance, although he thinks they are frauds. Sparks fly.

Light fun.
