Backcover:

No one, not even herself, knew the secret of her past. All that was known was that she was called Eileen, raised by local farmers until the wealthy Summervilles saw her and adopted her as their "niece". Thus this half-wild, beautiful girl was elevated to the aristocratic world of sophisticated pleasures and swirling intrigues of eighteenth-century England...to cast her spell on a handsome, reckless lord. Drake Neville broke his pledge of marriage to another and risked honor, title, and life itself to make the lovely Eileen his. She showed him the moonlit lure of love, he taught her the fiery power of passion. And when the mystery of Eileen's past threatened her present, Drake knew he must find a way to unveil its dark intrigue and rescue her before it was too late...

This is one of my earliest romance novel that I thank goodness I had the sense to buy and keep. Eileen was a beautiful character, who survived a tragic incident when she was a child. When the Summervilles found her she was a mute, who managed to be independent and enchanting. Drake was a very caring, happy man, who was raised to have everything he could want. It all comes crashing down though when he's accused of treason. The adventure to clear his name and protect Eileen begins.

There were very tender and humorous parts to the book that I can't help but remember. Love Patricia Rice's very whimsical books and look forward to her next.
