The future of Charlotte Harris’s finishing school is in jeopardy when a charming Spaniard – world-famous magician Diego Montalvo – arrives to turn the bordering estate into a scandalous pleasure garden. Valiantly ignoring his wicked flirtations, outspoken Lucinda Seton vows to derail his plans and save the school, unaware that Diego’s true mission is to spirit the long-lost heiress away to Spain for a handsome reward! But before long Diego’s heart is playing tricks on him, and Lucy is falling under the illusionist’s spell. How can the Master of Mystery go through with his devilish scheme when all he wants is to make the lovely heiress his own?

Kristin Ramsdell - Library Journal

Although dangerously attracted to the devilishly handsome illusionist Diego Montalvo, outspoken art teacher Lucy Seton is not about to let him turn the estate next door to Mrs. Harris's highly selective girls' school into another Vauxhall. But she, not the property, is the real reason Diego is in England; his goal is to regain his family vineyard by finding the long-lost granddaughter of a crafty Spanish nobleman and returning her to Spain all without laying a hand on her. This fifth installment in Jeffries's (Let Sleeping Rogues Lie) "School for Heiresses" series teases readers with hints of the long-awaited final chapter, Wed Him Before You Bed Him(coming in July; look for an Xpress Review). VERDICT Honor wars with desire as the sexual tension crackles across the pages of this witty, deliciously sensual, secret-laden story. (Jeffries will talk about her series and juggling her secrets in the June 18 edition of LJ's e-newsletter BookSmack!)
