Set in the Victorian era, this is the story of Lady Rebecca Marshall, whose mother gets her a position as maid of honor at the court of Queen Victoria. Rebecca finds herself between a nasty roommate and a noblewoman who uses the maids as courtly spies. Worse, she is attracted to Marquis Rupert St. John, an agent secret agent of the crown who leads a double life.
Naïve Rebecca makes a dumb move and ends up in his bedchamber where Rupert seduces her. He’s sleeping with half the court but only Rebecca ends up pregnant. She confronts him and he marries her but believes she set a trap to force him to do just that. Anger eventually turns into love.
It’s an engaging tale though not Lindsey’s best. The plot is a bit skimpy and the back and forth arguments between Rebecca and Rupert do get a tad old. Still, it has the Lindsey magic that will keep you turning pages.
