Synopsis This suspenseful Regency romance is the fourth in a series about the Bastion Club: seven former English spies from the Napoleonic wars, now wealthy, titled, handsome men and thus, desperately sought-after as marriage prospects. The members of this elite club have vowed to stand together to fight off the hordes of eligible women flinging themselves at them and make informed choices about whom to marry. The most eminent bachelor of them all is Baron Julius "Jack" Warnefleet, whose search for a wife has so far proved fruitless, until he meets the fiercely independent Lady Clarice Altwood in a country lane and helps her rescue a young man from a carriage that was deliberately run off the road.
