"This intriguing, mystery-laced reworking of the Cinderella story is a sweetly sensual and often funny delight"—from the author of If the Slipper Fits (Library Journal).
The infamous Laura Falkner has returned to Regency London society in disguise. Determined to clear her father's name, she becomes a companion to elderly Lady Josephine—only to learn the woman's nephew is none other than Alexander Ross, the devilish Earl of Copley, the man Laura once loved with all her heart. The same man who'd accused her father of theft and forced them to flee England.
Alex has never forgotten Laura—or forgiven himself for letting her go. Today, Laura is as lovely—and stubborn—as ever, and her attempts at crime-solving are putting her in danger. The only way Alex can keep her safe is to marry her. But how can this notorious rake convince Laura that his heart is true . . . before the clock strikes twelve?
Praise for If the Slipper Fits

      Drawn back to London by her father's murder ten years after he was falsely accused of theft and they fled to Portugal, Laura Falkner is bent on vindicating her parent and recovering her lost life. But she has no funds and is still a social pariah. Then the enigmatic Lady Josephine Milford steps in, and Laura is given a position as the elderly woman's companion. Laura, of course, is overjoyed--until she learns that Lady Josephine's nephew is the Earl of Copley, the man who brought those accusations against Laura's father and broke her heart years ago. Anger and distrust war with the passion that still sparks between the pair as they work together to learn the truth--and end up in danger from a source they never anticipated. VERDICT Complete with fairy godmother and jeweled slippers, this intriguing, mystery-laced reworking of the Cinderella story is a sweetly sensual and often funny delight that will have fans wondering where those sparkling shoes will end up next. Drake (If the Slipper Fits), who also writes award-winning best sellers under her own name, Barbara Dawson Smith, lives in Texas.
