Trent liked a challenge and accepted becoming president of the club but he planned on cleaning it up and he know watched the members mingling with the ton.

Ophelia was smart enough to have her two friends go to the orphanage with her. Ophelia and Trent have a slow building romance now. Then George Grayson mysterious disappears.

I really loved this story. I loved the intrigue and excitement and obviously the romance between Trent and Ophelia. I love how Trent is protective of Ophelia but even more he respects her and is acting as a gentleman and is willing to wait to go to bed with her. Also Trent is willing to help Ophelia find her friend and how loyal and independent Ophelia is. This story has a great plot . I also love the twists and turns as well as the characters.  I highly recommend.
