Copperheaded Rolande was intrigued by his suggestion that she masquerade as his long-lost cousin Giles. Little did she know that she would be caught up in a web of glittering intrigue and a plan which would lead to a new disguise as an exotic Hungarian countess whose exquisite beauty and mysterious past would make her the toast of Brighton.
