Synopsis
Can even a rapscallion’s heart withstand the sting of Cupid’s arrow? Young Ludwig Osgood-Simple is nothing if not a scoundrel of the highest order. His mother is at wit’s end regarding his roguish antics. She sends him off to join his older brother Nathaniel in the army, but Ludwig promptly takes flight—to seek his own destiny. He is set upon by robbers and left beaten and naked in the cobblestone street. His woeful state is discovered by the courtesan Penny Brytches, who nurses him back to health. A chance encounter with the beautiful Lady Faith Nevermore forever changes his ways—for the arrow of true love has struck his impish heart. Can Ludwig circumvent the older woman’s mechanizations and schemes and win the love of his heart’s desire? Or will there be no redemption for this scoundrel?
