Backcover Synopsis - As a viscount's daughter, vivacious Coralee Whitmore is perfectly placed to write about London's elite in the outspoken ladies' gazette, "Heart to Heart".  But beneath her fashionable exteriour beats the heart of a serious journalist.

So when her sister's death is dismissed as suicide, Corrie vows to uncover the truth, suspecting the notorious Earl of Tremaine was Laurel's lover and the father of her illegitimate child.  Corrie infiltrates Castle Tremaine posing as a wide-eyed country relation whose charming figure--and reduced circumstances--make her irresistible to the confirmed scoundrel.  But Corrie finds the earl is not all he seems...nor is she immune to his charms, however much she despises his caddish ways.

Far from a society column, Corries's life soon reads more like one of Mr. Dicken's serials.  But the danger of her ruse is hardly fictional:  someone is bent on ensuring Corries's questions go unanswered--and unasked.

Personal Opinion - A highly entertaining story about a sister who goes to great lengths to prove that her sister did not commit suicide but was murdered.  It has a great deal of humor as well as suspense to keep the reader entertained throughout the whole book.
