Diego Montalvo is searching for the long lost granddaughter of a Spanish Marques. He knows she was kidnapped by her nanny at the age of four, she is twenty years old, and she has a birthmark on her thigh. Diego's search leads him to Lucinda Seton, a teacher at Mrs. Harris' Finishing School. To get close to the school, Diego moves in next door and tells everyone he will be opening a pleasure garden. Lucy is incensed when she learns this information. The business will hurt the school. This gives the outspoken woman a cause to fight against. But when Diego and Lucy meet, there is a strong attraction. Diego doesn't plan on falling for the heiress he is supposed to take to Spain. And Lucy knows she must keep her distance from her handsome neighbor and not fall for his charms.

The fifth book in Sabrina Jeffries' School for Heiresses series is a pleasant book. The hero and heroine are both very likeable. I thought the fact that Diego worked as a magician was very unique. It's nice to have a historical hero that is not a rich Duke. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
