In her impressive first novel, Skinner introduces Miss Kathryn St. David, newly arrived in London for a season under her formidable aunt Ophelia's patronage. Her first surprise is a masked ball in her honor. And the second is dashingly handsome -- and impossibly forward -- Nigel Moorhaven, Marquis of Blackshire. An intriguing mystery and a case of mistaken identities round out this delightful Regency tale.
