What this book is about
Emma Hotchkiss is an independent Victorian woman who cons men for a living — not for money, but for a complicated sense of justice. Mount Lamott, the Earl of Mount, catches her and decides to match her game for game rather than turn her in. Judith Ivory's Victorian historical romance is known for its playful battle of wits and deeply satisfying resolution.
