About the book
When her cousin Elizabeth's betrothal to the handsome Sir Rupert Wroth was announced, Nerina felt only pity for her. First because Elizabeth was already in love with another, and for more worthy man. And also because marriage to the most notorious scoundrel in Queen Victoria's court spelled disaster for any virtuous girl. In the most outrageous plot ever conceived, how did Nerina dare--hidden beneath the white bridal veil--stand beside Sir Rupert to impersonate her own gentle cousin?
