About the book

LADY CAROLINE ATTRACTED TROUBLE LIKE MOTHS TO A FLAME! Her romantic antics provided society with a good many minor scandals--which didn't stop the incomparable Caro from catching the eye of Lord Dolmain, a dashing widower. But as was customary with Caro, trouble intruded before romance could. Dolmain accused her of stealing a diamond necklace worn by his young daughter at her debut. Though the charge was soon retracted, his lordship had practically destroyed Caroline's reputation. The only way to redeem herself was to find the true thief. But when murder enters the scene, Caro and Dolmain discover that two heads--and two hearts--are better than one! Hero: Lord Dolmain Heroine: Caroline, Countess of Winbourne
