Book Description
Benedict Carsington is perfect. In the world of politics and power, he never says a wrong word, never dresses incorrectly, and is a paragon of virtue. He even conducts his affairs so discreetly that nobody knows he's involved with a woman. Bathsheba Wingate is a walking scandal -- her late husband was disinherited when he ran off to marry a member of the scandalous DeLucey family. Now Bathsheba is back in London, seeking work to support her young daughter, Olivia. She encounters Benedict, and his young nephew and charge, Peregrine, at an Egyptian exhibit in the British Museum. Before long, thanks to the adventurous Olivia who is seeking the family treasure, Benedict and Bathsheba are chasing the two children and creating scandal after scandal.
Chase's continuation of her "Carsington" series picks up where Mister Impossible left off -- with strong writing and humor. Bathsheba is a woman with a scandalous reputation, yet Chase doesn't make her weak or pathetic. Benedict, despite his reputation for perfection, is a man just waiting to break free.
