Publisher Description
After ten years of adventure, Colin Smith, the bastard son of a viscount, returns to the place he most despises ––London. But only until he can sell off some of his treasures. He has no use for the stifling rules of the ton, but he’s more than happy to play the game if it gets him what he wants.
Lady Claire, daughter of a marquess, is everything Colin loathes about the ton, but she is determined to win him over. Her life is a catalogue of dances and evening gowns, and thanks to an eidetic memory, she can remember every blasted, boring second of it. A treasure hunt for the Cleopatra Emerald promises adventure, but Claire wants more. If she can convince Colin Smith to take her with him as he travels the world, then she’ll have the life she’s always dreamed of. There’s just one problem, he doesn’t seem to like her much.
But Lady Claire loves a good challenge and the intellectual beauty may be on her way to the grandest adventure of all.

An Adventure
The story revolves around Colin, an illegitimate son of a Viscount and Claire the daughter of a Marquess. Claire has the ability to recall anything and everything that had ever happened in her lifetime with vividness. This is at times frustrating to others in that she creates lists of the incidents with absolute recall. Colin meets Claire and she becomes intrigued by him and wants to further their relationship. Colin in an adventurer who has returned to England to find support for another expedition to Egypt and along the way they fall in love and plan to return to Egypt in search of hidden treasures. There is a lot that comes about before this happens. It is a good read.
A nice time.
I enjoyed this book very much. I believe this author has good stories to tell and I look forward to reading them.
