From Booklist

Unwilling to believe that the fortune she is due to inherit is gone, Celia disguises herself as her half-brother Martin's new governess in an attempt to find out what role her stepmother, Patrice, may have played in the money's disappearance. When Celia's fiance, Stanley Arlington, notices her absence, he arrives in London and accuses Brandon Pellidore of both stealing Celia's money and murdering her. To dispel Stanley's accusation, Brandon decides to look into matters himself and uncovers not only Celia's little ruse but also evidence that something strange really is going on. With his own money tied up until he can prove that he has not inherited his family's curse of madness, Brandon understands Celia's need to claim what is rightfully hers, but he never expected that Celia would be the woman to claim his love. In her latest historical Regency, Scott beautifully builds a quiet sense of menace and dangerous intrigue and then adds wonderfully complex characters and witty writing to create an exceptionally memorable romance.

This review is from: Perfection (Zebra Historical Romance) (Paperback)

Brandon Pellidore, Marquess of Hartley, had to be careful. His family line was reported to have insanity. All who died due to it did so by age thirty. Therefore, Brandon would only receive his inheritance if he lived until age thirty without showing any of the insanity symptoms. Thirty was only a couple months away. Because Brandon was so careful and stand-offish around others, the Ton gave him the title "Lord Heartless". It gave Brandon the reputation he preferred. Then he met Celia Rider.

Celia was drawn to Brandon, even though she was promised to another. She was able to see behind his mask. Her title for him was "Lord Oberon". Brandon learned that Celia had been informed that her late father had left her penniless. Knowing it to be untrue, Celia was on a quest to locate her missing inheritance and find the thief. Brandon insisted on helping. Their investigation began to make someone nervous enough to attempt murder.

***** An incredible romance filled with danger, excitement, and betrayal. There is much more going on than my synopsis reveals between the main hero and heroine. In addition, there are several secondary characters that captured my attention from the start. Tantalizing sub-plots keep the story moving along at a fast pace. Read this! Can I make it any clearer? *****
