Sarah Davenport is very worried.  Since her father died, her brother has gotten in with the wrong set, and gambled away virtually everything they own.  He appears to be in thrall to the sinister Lord Percival, who seems to think that Sarah is his for the taking.  When Sarah’s best friend, Lizzie, invites her to stay with her and her uncle in Bath, Sarah jumps at the chance. But she soon discovers that not only her brother, but Lord Percival as well, are also in town.  Worse still, she has fallen for Greg, a man who seems to be in love with Lizzie, as well as knowing a thing or two to Percival's detriment.

I often think that there are not enough Regency novels set in Bath, surely one of the main places that come to mind associated with this period.  This book brings the town to life, with a good feel of the place and its pleasures and pastimes.  I also enjoyed the amiable Greg, a pleasant change from the usual dominating alpha male and somebody it would be easy to like as well as be attracted to.  The odd "gray" character might add spice to this type of tale however, where everybody is either very likeable or irredeemable villains but this is still a very enjoyable novel.
