Miss Isabella Winstanley is an heiress but after her first season with no offers and the dead of her father, she returned to the country to help raise her younger brother.

She has returned years later to London to chaperone and sponsor a young cousin whose parents are more interested in their 5 sons than their daughter, Sophia. But when Lord Amburley first sees Isabella she is wearing servants clothes out late at night on the side of a road, he believes she is being assaulted.

Later he meets her in fine clothes with young Sophia believing that Sophia is the heiress and Isabella the poor relative. He is determine to uncover her masquerade. He tempts her into a game of cards which she loses but not without a great fight, he then suggest a race in his carriage for double or nothing.

As Amburley spends time preparing for the race he decides to he likes Isabella even if she is poor.

**This book is very good, just seem to drag with Amburley continently trying to trip up Isabella and Isabella not being honest with him after she fell in love with him. At one point she believes he is about to offer for Sophia and she is willing to let him. She is a stronger heroine that to let the man she love slip through her fingers just to hide a good deed she does. I would have rated it a B if not for this.
