BOOK #1

Stifled by the rigid confines of Mayfair society, Lady Carenza Castlebury lives a secret life. One full of passion and color in the heart of London's rookery, where she sings in a tavern as the infamous Masked Meadowlark. Coveted by many, claimed by none, Carenza refuses to conform to a life dictated to her by her controlling father, the powerful Earl of Castlebury. She will run away from his every attempt to quell her freedom, regardless of what her father believes-and regardless of any man he sends to bring her home. Or so she thinks, until she encounters the one man who stops her-and her heart-dead in her tracks. Commoner Damon Crowe has made a lucrative living digging through the secrets of the rich and titled. In the recovery business, Damon thinks nothing of assisting the Earl of Castlebury in retrieving his spoiled daughter from her covert nighttime escapades before her ruse is discovered. Damon sees only a hefty payout on an easy assignment. Truly, how big a problem can one nobleman's bored and pampered daughter be? Turns out, she's a rather large one. But when Carenza's brazen nature puts her directly into the path of the Revivalists-a group of murdering noblemen rampaging London-Damon can no longer deny his feelings for the passionate hellion.
