Twist legend into truth... the Round Table's lost passion, the Holy Grail, is alive and well in the Regency era.As her family tells her often enough, bossy Sarah Frampton isn't pretty, she's a wallflower, good only to chaperone her sister, a member of the Banshee Brigade. That useless group of society fribbles is stumbling through the Little Season of 1814 with Sarah tagging along. Sir Sloane Johnstone, on the other hand, is society's darling. One of those frightfully competent men who mastermind the government, Sloane has the added distinction of being Keeper of the Grail. The Holy Grail. Yes, the Holy Grail is housed in the Tower of London along with the Crown jewels and Sloane is in charge of it.But a valuable Fra Angelico painting has disappeared. Sarah dreads her volatile father's reaction when he learns of its loss. She has to find it, but she needs help. Who else could she ask but the man she considers the parfait gentle knight? When Sloane agrees to find the Fra Angelico altarpiece, Cosmas and Damian are to be burnt alive, he mounts his charger, an ornery horse called Grumbler, and sets out to save the domineering damsel. Security at the Tower of London and other problems clutter up the quest, but as surely as Gunter's serves ices, the Holy Grail can bless a happily ever after. Will it do so for Sarah and Sloane?
