To protect her mother's eccentricities from being known in a society where social standing is the ultimate concern, Lady Jasmina Karlyle casts a spell but her magical powers are much greater than she imagined. Her spell is no illusion but a real person who looks exactly like her! Her double cavorts all around Victorian London, stirring up all sorts of trouble in her name. The numerous scandals are only the beginning! The stunningly handsome baronet Sterling Thorn stares at her in the most intimate way as if he knows her, and a little too intimately in her opinion, although she finds herself drawn to him despite her best attempts to block her growing attraction. Beautiful and powerful both as man and a horse, the lowly baronet is exactly the kind of man who will never gain her aristocratic father's approval. For Lady Jasmina, marriage is not an option. She must protect and care for her parents and her mother's little secret provides her with more than enough adventures and danger trying to rectify wrongs and protect their reputation. As Lady Jasmina tries to locate her missing double and discover a missing jewel rumored to be one of the Relics of Merlin, her duty pushes her right up against Sterling, a man charged with finding the lost Relics of Merlin and keeping society safe from those forces that would use these artifacts to evil ends. In a race against time, who will find the relic first or can they find a means to work together rather than at cross purposes? Working in close proximity, can they deny the growing pull towards one another? How will the proper Jasmina measure up to the sexy, provocative, and even scandalous Jaz, her double, in the eyes of the baronet Sterling? Will Lady Jasmina be able to step up for herself and her desires against the disapproval of her family and society?
