Klappentext In this charming regency romance, a dog in need of rescue brings together a young debutante and a mysterious stranger-third in the Chance Sisters series. After a childhood riddled with poverty and hardship, Jane Chance intends to enter high society and make a good, safe, sensible marriage during the London Season. All goes according to plan until a dark, dangerous vagabond helps her rescue a dog. Zachary Black is all kinds of unsuitable-a former spy, now in disguise, he's wanted for murder. His instructions: to lie low until his name is cleared. But Zach has never followed the rules, and he wants Jane for his own, even if that means blazing his way into London society. Jane knows she shouldn't fall in love with an unreliable, albeit devastatingly attractive, rogue. But Zach is determined-and he's a man accustomed to getting what he wants. “Treat yourself to some super reads from a most talented writer.” — Romance Reviews Today “For fabulous Regency flavor, witty and addictive, you can’t go past Anne Gracie.” —Stephanie Laurens, bestselling author Prologue Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. —JANE AUSTEN, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE London, 1805 “Tell us about the night you were a princess, Mama.” “She felt like a princess, she wasn’t really one,” Jane’s big sister, Abby, corrected her.
