A devastatingly handsome Duke, with London Society falling at his feet… A lovely young ‘Amazon’, leader of a South coast smuggling gang… A sinister plot by the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte to assassinate the Prince Regent – and a sordid blackmail scheme contrived by a Society lady to force her victims to do her evil bidding…In this helter-skelter adventure, fraught with peril, the mutual suspicion between the lovely young gang-leader and the dashing Duke turns first to admiration, then to trust and finally to a contraband kind of love.
