  Handsome, wealthy and an accomplished rider, Trydon, Duke of Westacre is overwhelming popular with Society ladies. So much so that he’s sick to death of the constant matchmaking by his Godmother and countless Society ‘mamas’ and rides away through the night to Brighthelmstone in search of peace.
   
  What he encounters there is quite the opposite. In the foggy darkness, he stumbles across a gang of smugglers. When they mistake him for one of their own, he finds himself embroiled in their crime and is amazed to discover that their leader is a young woman!
   
  What follows is a helter-skelter adventure in which an aristocrat becomes a smuggler and strives to save his ‘Amazon’ gang leader from the blackmail that has brought her to criminality. Uncovering a French plot to assassinate the Prince Regent, he enlists the lovely Georgia, his smuggling Amazon, in a mission to expose the assassin. And amidst events fraught with danger, Trydon and Georgie’s mutual suspicion turns first to admiration, then trust and finally to a contraband kind of love.

  In the Black Forest Spa town of Baden-Baden for the money to be made at the gaming tables, professional gambler and Englishman Quintus Tiverton is disturbed to hear the sound of an English girl being whipped savagely in an attic room of a country inn. 
  
   
  	‘It is none of my business,’ he tells himself, but the sound of the girl’s weeping is inescapable and he has to go and investigate. 
  
   
  	Instantly he is captivated by Selina Wade, the blue-eyed waif he encounters and, finding that she is being exploited cruelly by a ‘domestic agency’ proprietor who is little better than a ‘madam’, resolves to save her.
  
   
  	Quintus Tiverton smuggles her out of the inn in the early morning and he then spends a great deal of money, which he does not have, in buying her new fashionable dresses to make even more beautiful.
  
   
  	And so naïve Selina finds herself posing as the gambler’s pretty sister, as Quintus Tiverton tries to marry her off to someone suitably rich amongst the international wealthy who frequent Baden-Baden in the Season . 
  
   
  	Little does Quintus know that poor Selina’s heart is already taken.  And she only has eyes for him! 
  
   
  	Still less does he realise that he too is falling in love.
