About True Colors

Sir Marcus Slate was the most exquisite of dandies. All society knew that an elegant appearance was his supreme desire. And many whispered that he could never be as interested in women as he was in clothes. — Clearly, beautiful young Miss Zoe Bellingham had nothing to fear from this very gentle gentleman. Just as surely, she could never choose him over so dashing a suitor as Charles Beversham, rakish though Beversham might be. But in an amorous odyssey from the decorum of London to the dangers of Paris, and from girlish innocence to womanly experience, Zoe learned that more than clothes made the man... as Sir Marcus took mask, gloves, and all other impeding apparel off -- and took on the task of educating Zoe in love.
