Plot Summary of Amarantha
"Thoroughly bored of London and the stale games of the ton, Amarantha heads to the country to visit her uncle. She is a lively, intelligent creature, so it is no wonder Tamlin the Vicker is attracted to her. But Tamlin Adair, is not all he says he is, and Amarantha is determined to find out his dark secrets, though it may put her very life in peril.
