Summary
Someone is misusing Max Brandon’s name - resulting in bills for services he never ordered and goods he did not buy. For reasons he can't begin to guess, he has become the victim of some unknown person's campaign of persecution.
When the games move closer to home, almost forcing him to fight a duel...more particularly, when they draw in Frances Pendleton, a lady he never expected to see again...Max vows to catch the man behind them, no matter what the cost.
The result is a haphazard chase involving ruined abbeys, a hunt for hermits, a grotesque portrait...and a love story which, but for this odd trick of fate, might never have been given a second chance.

Identity theft in Georgian England
The combination of a Stella Riley book and the voice of Alex Wyndham - unbeatable. Very hard to take my earphones out and be sociable last evening...........
The hero, who appeared in the last book and is a descendant of characters in the Roundheads & Cavaliers series, is being impersonated by someone and then lured into a chase across Northern England and Southern Scotland. I feel very sorry for the horses and the coachman, although I am sure it wasn't particularly comfortable inside the carriage. A happy ending, of course, for the h&h, with introductions to 2 brothers to be heroes of future books - something to look forward to in due course. Interesting background to the tour of Britain and the brothers have unusual interests/careers.
Delighted to hear that Rockcliffe has the heir to let his brother off the hook!
I have many of Stella Riley's books in print and on Kindle as well as all but one of the Audible recordings, so was delighted to receive a free copy of this book, it is very enjoyable and now I've downloaded the first of the Rockcliffe series to listen to the series again. I would have used a credit for this book if I had not been one of the lucky ones.
Looking forward to the next book, Stella Riley, and the audiobook, Alex Wyndham......

Continuation of Rockliffe saga
A combination of Alex Wyndham’s and Stella Riley’s word wizardry. You cannot go wrong the Rockliffe books preceded this set and were a stunning as these books are. All our favourite characters are here. And I’m glad to have more about characters on the periphery of previous stories. This love story is just as good. I’m just about to start the next one.

Impeccable writing and Delivery
Anyone who knows Stella Rileys' series of books either the Roundhead and Cavalier series or Rockliffe will not be surprised by the quality of this writer. The Brandon name will be well known to those who read with great pleasure Garland of Straw and it is wonderful to catch up on the family albeit two generations forward! We know Max from the of the Rockliffe books 'A Trick of Fate' as Arabellas' brother, in this we hear his story. Combine great writing, excellent research and the divine dulcet tones of Alex Wyndham and its a match made in heaven. I encourage everyone to listen to all her audiobooks, They are all keepers

A Perfect continuation
This is a perfect continuation to to the Rockliffe series, as we are reintroduced to familiar names and characters, with an amazing cluster of new and interesting characters. The storyline is as unusual as always and the villain (& villainess) of the piece, were dealt with very satisfactorily indeed.
As always, Alex Wyndham is just perfect! I can’t wait for the next one. Adam, I’m guessing. He has a secret...
