Synopsis: Lord Charles Hawksborough desperately wanted to catch the infernally insolent thief who had held him up at pistol point on the King's highway and ridden off with his family's fabled jewels. With his marriage to the beautiful and suitable Lady Mary Dane rapidly approaching, he just as desperately wanted to be rid of the penniless Miss Amanda Colby when this young lady and her twin brother came to stay at the height of the London season. For her part, Amanda hoped that Hawksborough would never discover that she was the thief, or that she was coming to love him.
