For Miss Cassandra Weston there is only one escape route from an appalling arranged marriage – flight to Godmama in London. But Godmama is out of the country.
Nicholas, Earl of Lydford, her son, is about to leave on a Grand Tour, starting in Paris. Take one very reluctant nobleman, a valet with a broken leg, a ferocious great aunt – and Cassandra becomes Cass the valet en route to Paris. Can Cassie and Nicholas safely negotiate weeks of deception, misunderstanding and desire, lightly spiced with raging rivers, blood-thirsty bandits and exotic Venetian courtesans? And can their growing love survive Miss Weston’s most scandalous masquerade of all?
