 
Lord James Dinsmore:
A handsome rake with a penchant
for poetry and a gift for seduction, James Dinsmore is fiercely
loyal to his sister Anne. Until her thirst for revenge against
Rafe Moreham and the Harcrest family push him too far...
Lady Elizabeth
Harcrest:
Raised in the country by her oh-so strait-laced
half-brother Rafe, young Lady Elizabeth Harcrest can’t
wait to experience a bit of freedom and fun. And her upcoming
London season seems just the opportunity she’s been waiting
for…
Lord Robert Grenville:
A spymaster with a notoriously jaundiced
view of the world, Grenville nevertheless sees something of value
in James Dinsmore. He offers James the chance to redeem
himself, but the price is dangerously high.
Marcus Tyndale:
As slim and elegant as the quill he seems always
to be twirling between the fingers his left hand, Marcus is an
artist, a master forger who can produce whatever documents a
mission to revolutionary France requires--from a passport to a
marriage license.
Andre Tewksbury:
With a restless energy so intense his dark
curls and deep blue eyes seem to crackle with it, Andre is a
master of disguise who can turn a count into a coachman under
the very noses of the French National Guard.
David Croft:
His dark blonde head always bent over hands working
at some clever construction of wood or metal, David is a inventor
with a flare for the unusual, whether a specially modified coach,
an oddly altered bit of luggage, or a cologne with a kick.
Lady Anne
Dinsmore:
The daughter of the impoverished and insane
Duke of Dinsmore, Lady Anne has her sights set on Rafe Harcrest—or
at least on his title and fortune. When he throws her over for
the upstart French fugitive, Alix de La Brou, Anne vows revenge.
After all, there ought to be some sort of penalty for a man who
toys with a woman’s expectations and then fails to come
up to scratch!
Rafe Harcrest, Earl of Moreham:
Rafe Harcrest is a man who believes impulsive
behavior should be avoided at all costs. After all, he’s spent most of
his life cleaning up the messes caused by other people’s
impulsive behavior—his horse and hounds obsessed father,
his spendthrift brother, and his wild-child half-sister Elizabeth.
And yet, he can’t resist the impulse to rescue the beautiful
French fugitive Alix de la Brou. No matter how much she insists
she’s in no need of saving…
Alix de Rabec
de la Brou:
Alix de la Brou has been living a comfortable,
is somewhat stifled life is playing hostess to her elderly and
overbearing father, the Comte de la Brou. When angry peasants
storm her home and kill her father, she finds herself on the
run—and on her own for the first time in her life. And
though she’s grateful when a mysterious Englishman comes
to her aid on a Paris street, she’s not about to surrender
her newly found independence to him—no matter how irresistible
she finds him…
Jervis Jones:
Equally quick with a knife, a bit of unsolicited
advice, or an appalling home remedy, Jervis Jones is the sort
of man you’d
never find serving an earl. But then Rafe Harcrest never expected
to be an earl. And though he’d never admit it, Jervis
is a bit like the father he never had: straightforward, reliable,
and absolutely certain he knows what’s best for Rafe.
Robert Lamartine:
Robert Lamartine, the former steward to
the Comte de La Brou only wants what he believes is rightfully
his—the de La Brou estates. And he’ll stop at nothing
to keep Alix de la Brou from escaping France with the papers
he needs to claim them as his own… even murder.
