Almost a year ago, Hetty Plumtree layed down an ultimatum to her five grandchildren: They all must marry within the year or forfeit their inheritance. Now with only two months left, Celia Sharpe is the only grandchild who hasn't married. Celia comes up with a plan to become betrothed to one of three eligible bachelors that have been invited to the Sharpe's house party. She asks Bow Street Runner Jackson Pinter to investigate her three suitors. For several months, Jackson has been investigating the deaths of Celia's parents. He doesn't want to have anything to do with helping Celia find a husband. He has loved her since the first moment they met. If he had his way, he would suggest Celia marry him to fulfill her grandmother's demands. But, he knows that Celia could never marry a commoner who was born a bastard.

This story wraps up the Hellions of Halstead Hall series. Celia and Jackson have sparred throughout the whole series and I was happy to finally read their book. Sabrina Jeffries writes a light-hearted historical romance that I didn't want to put down. Along with the romance, we finally learn what happened twenty years ago with the mysterious death's of the Sharpe children's parents which was an on-going story arc in this series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
