This book may not be as captivating as its predecessors, but it is still an enjoyable story that follows a unique family.

The Wynchesters are a family of six adopted siblings who use their unique talents to help people in need. When they hear of a moneylender called Snowley who is taking advantage of the destitute by exchanging forged coins for their valuables, Marjorie, an artist, decides to take the lead and go out in the field to take him down. At the same time, Lord Adrian Webb has returned to London from Rome, where his family had banished him seven years earlier.
When he visits Snowley, he discovers that Snowley knows Adrian has been creating forgeries and is now blackmailing him into counterfeiting money. When Marjorie and Adrian meet, they initially antagonize each other, but soon connect as truths are revealed. This is the fourth installment in the Wild Wynchesters series and will be enjoyed by those already familiar with the characters. Marjorie’s character arc is particularly interesting as she grows in confidence, while Adrian’s is less authentic as his actions are always based on honorable ideals. There is plenty of kissing and pining, but the focus is on the entertaining hijinks. Ultimately, the two artists find love as they become embroiled in a dangerous counterfeiting scheme in Regency London.
