This second book in the Notorious Gentlemen series was as entertaining as the first. Alyse and Phin were childhood friends, until Phin, driven by guilt, left to join the army and go to war. Phin receives notice from his sister that their wheelchair-bound brother was deathly ill, so he comes home. And he discover his brother in good health; his sister wanted him home because mysterious accidents were befalling the estate. Phin is bound and determined to find out what was going on. He meets Alyse again - who is definitely not a child anymore. Phin attempts to solve the estate's bad luck under the guise of a highwayman. Alyse and Phin find themselves still drawn together after all these years. Good chemistry between the leads and a mystery make this a fun book to read.
