The Adventurers
Northbridge was nobody's fool, but here he was lost in a sea of outrage, embarrassment--and honest perplexity. How could a woman masquerade as a man . . . and fool him so cleverly? Worse, how had she managed to coerce him into joining her scheme? For her part, Isabel was proud of her mastery of disguise. Now she was putting her skills to the ultimate test: She must get her young friend past a snare of murderous characters who mean to keep him from claiming his legacy. Only too soon did Isabel discover her greatest danger was not her enemies, but the earl himself. With his fathomless blue eyes, he seemed to see all her secrets--and there was no way she could mask that she'd fallen hopelessly in love!
