But her luck takes a turn for the worse when her hapless brother, Peregrine, becomes the target of a would-be-assassin.

To Judith's great annoyance, their mysterious guardian - the handsome Earl of Worth - seems far more intent on wooing her than saving her brother, but all is not as it seems...

When the truth is revealed, Judith will finally discover if the Earl is after her money or her heart.
