Lord Gabriel’s Undoing

Orphaned Lady Phoebe Nicholson is making her debut in London society under the guardianship of her prim aunt. She’s a rich heiress, so should have men vying for her attention. But she has a seemingly insurmountable problem: she can’t dance without trampling on a gentleman’s feet, and she’s so clumsy anything breakable has to be put well out of her orbit. At her first ball, while trying to melt into the background, she meets Lord Gabriel Wycliff, a young man so handsome she thinks he could have been a Greek god. Little does she know, he has a secret.

Gabriel was brought up as the adopted son of the Duke and Duchess of Sherborne after a desperate young woman thrust a baby—him—into his adoptive mother’s arms. The mysterious woman refused help for herself and fled. He’s been aware of this since childhood, when the duchess revealed all to him and showed him the rookeries from which he likely came. It prompted a desire to help children in similar situations, and in order to finance his project, he’s become the notorious Mayfair Highwayman, a thief who pilfers valuables from the wealthy.

The night after he meets Phoebe, he makes a decision that will change his life when he attempts to steal her pearls. Because Phoebe is not the little mouse she appears, she’s lying in wait armed with her late father’s cricket bat. But instead of turning him in, she actually helps him.

When they start to fall in love, drawn together by Gabriel’s endeavors and trying to solve the lingering mystery of his origins, it seems clumsiness and trampled feet won’t be the most insurmountable problems after all…
