With This Ring

The free-thinking authoress of ''horrid novels'', Beatrice is searching for the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, a mythic treasure she suspects played a role in her uncle''s death. Beatrice finds Leo every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels - and she''s convinced he''s the only one who can help her. But after only five minutes in her company, Leo is sure he''s never met a woman more infuriating . . . and more likely to rescue him from boredom. Yet the alliance may well prove to be the biggest mistake of their lives.

For a villain lurks in London, waiting for the pair to unearth the Forbidden Rings - knowing that when they do, that day will be their last.
