The Mandarin of Mayfair
" ."Foreign Titles: ... denn ich kŠmpfe um Dein Herz German
Synopsis:
As a devious plot swirls to overthrow the monarchy, Gwendolyn Rossiter, whose brother leads the fight to defend the Crown, finds her lively wit and outspoken nature largely ignored by the haut ton. With one exception: August Falcon, a devilishly handsome resistance conspirator. Yet the passion Gwendolyn inspires in him is more rage at her audacity than tenderness. And if she is even mildly fond of him, she conceals it admirably.
But as riots in London escalate and the League of the Jewelled Men brings its fiendish machinations to the fore, Gwendolyn will suddenly find unexpected love in the arms of a man who swore he was immune to her charms ...

Doch Falcon, der feurige Nachkomme eines chinesischen Edelmanns, ist abgelenkt... Sorgt er sich wirklich um die Intrigen, oder hat die funkensprŸhende Gwendolyn Rossiter ihre Hand im Spiel?

Trivia:
- How dare they mess with my Hector? Kadenworthy is one of the longest running characters in Veryan's Georgian series. The only problem is, he doesn't show up that much. But he appears or is referred to in The Golden Chronicles, The Wagered Widow and The Tales of the Jewelled Men.
