A cute, quirky read, that brings us back in time that I loved. Adriana when she's caught she doesn't like and try to make excuses she tells Alexander the truth, "your Grace, "she said softly, daring as she had never dared before. "I lied because I couldn't make enough money as an author to support myself and was afraid of the rough life a friendless woman such as myself would be forced to live in the lesser parts of London." Now that the truth is out there it seems Alexander gets to have what he's always wanted, her, "my mistress," he said to the leaping flames. "I've wanted you since the moment I saw you. Then I couldn't have you - a lady, and my ward's governess. But now, it's different." Adriana may have made a deal with him but some of the things he does gets on her nerves and she lets him have it, "she stopped, turned on her heel, and pointed at him. "Making a fool of me was not part of our deal. You fed me to the wolves down there." I really did like this book.
