Known only as "Miss C." Constantia Cooper creates satirical cartoons for Mrs. Goode's. But her anonymity hides a more shocking secret--one that requires she remain elusive. When a scandal at the magazine threatens to expose her, Constantia packs up and flees. But in her haste, she is struck by a carriage and suffers a blow to the head. Fortunately, she's rescued by a gentleman. Unfortunately, he is all too familiar. Feigning amnesia seems Constantia's best strategy . . .

Alistair Haythorne, Earl of Ryland, would never turn away a lady in distress--even if he's often the target of said lady's biting satire. In fact, while "Miss C." recuperates, he will have her teach his sisters to draw. Perhaps it will inspire a more flattering portrait of him . . .

But secrets make interesting bedfellows and as Constantia and Alistair grow closer, their opinions of one another change--drastically. With love in the air, two things stand between them: Alistair's need to marry an heiress to keep his family's estate intact . . . and a series of threats that endanger Constantia's life. Can what keeps them apart ultimately bring them together?
