Peter Winthrop, once a fine gentleman, has turned to a desperate act that can send him to Newgate gaol. He has been hired to kidnap Lord Nightingale! But even the best laid schemes can go terribly wrong. For Lord Nightingale will prove more than a handful, and Mary Butterberry, a parson's beautiful daughter, is determined to save Peter from himself...even if it means her reputation's ruin.
From the tip of her charmingly retrousse nose to her dainty slippered feet, Miss Butterberry is adorable...and irrepressible. She knows a terrible secret shadows Peter Winthrop's past, and she defiantly sneaks out of the rectory to find him. Now with the irascible Nightingale in tow, she joins Peter in a dangerous flight -- toward kisses she cannot resist, a discovery no one suspects, and a surprise sprung by Lord Nightingale, which can turn tears into triumph...and discord into a sweet melody of love.
