The season of 1817 should have been the most engaging in ages. Napoleon was no longer a threat and English officers and gentlemen were ready to celebrate. But, inspired by the Miss Darby novels, a series of adventure stories about a bold and intrepid girl written by Rebecca Tate under a pseudonym, the daughters of the elite have taken a vow not to marry - ever - much to the consternation and horror of their mothers!
Although Rebecca never intended to start a revolution, rather only to provide a means to support herself and her ailing uncle, mothers everywhere are determined to stop her from writing. The Countess of Grimwell, in vapours over her own daughter's refusal to marry, hires Rafe Danvers to discover the author of the incendiary books and demand that this social anarchist recant her work. After fighting with the guerilla armies in Spain and with Wellington at Waterloo, discovering the identity of the Miss Darby author hardly seems worth Rafe's time - that is, until he actually meets the enchanting Rebecca.
