A very well written fast paced story, which I read in a sitting. Matty & Francisco have made appearances & I love that these secondary characters came into their own. The fifth & final book in the series, it could be easily read on its own but if you have read the earlier books it makes for a wonderful finale as past characters do make appearances & help in the denouement. So begins an attraction that is both unwise and irresistible. Making a rare mistake, he returns to Maida to right it – only to be faced with a severe young woman demanding he return the ring he stole. Returning to England to resign before he loses his soul entirely, he accepts one final mission that he regards as both foolish and beneath him. Francisco de Salgado has been long employed by the British government to take care of insoluble problems, both home and abroad. When a borrowed ring is stolen from Catherine Dove and her friend Hope, now in their first London Season, the redoubtable Matty goes alone to Maida Pleasure Gardens to confront the thief – who turns out to be outrageous, charming and utterly mysterious. Governess Matty Mather has grown to love her pupils of the Dove family. Her most recent books are light fun Regency romances, with occasional forays into Victorian mystery. Several of her novels feature actual historical characters as diverse as Hungarian revolutionaries, medieval English outlaws, and a family of eternally rebellious royal Scots. Her first literary love was historical fiction, a genre which she relishes mixing up with romance and adventure in her own writing. She lives in Scotland with her husband, one of three grown-up kids, and a small dog with a big personality. Mary Lancaster is a USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction and historical romance.
And the eventual solution will involve several old friends from the previous Pleasure Garden books. Mutual suspicion dissolves eventually into an alliance to discover who is behind a plot to overthrow the British government and why.

Thief or gentleman, he is uniquely dangerous!
