Fourth in the Jewelled Men series. "Veryan outdoes herself in creating a complete work of fiction that is also a spellbinding piece within the whole series." -Booklist

She had dreamed of that magical experience called falling in love. And, dreaming, she had conjured up a dashing and handsome gentleman . . . A far cry from Crazy Jack, a penniless and nameless vagrant, haunted by disgrace and the shadow of some terrible tragedy. Dreams are all that the graceful Jennifer Britewell has had of love and marriage since a childhood accident left her barren. Now, try as she might, the generous lady cannot bring herself to believe the town gossip about "Crazy Jack." It would be beneath her to consider him anything but a servant. But when he allows her to see traces of his honesty, intelligence, and gallantry, all warnings of her possible disgrace fade into the mists of Cornwall . . .

"Veryan's attention to historical details enlivens a colorful romantic tale." -Publishers Weekly

"Hairbreadth escapes and chases enliven the finale, which features some old acquaintances from the earlier Jeweled Men adventures." -Kirkus Reviews
