The Mandarin of Mayfair (The Tales of the Jewelled Men #6)

the long version

The eight young gentlemen who make up Rossiter's Preservers are reunited for a final battle against the evil Squire and his League of Jewelled Men. These mes stand in the way of the League's master plan: to oust King George II and install themselves as leaders of a new republic. In the midst of marshalling their forces against the League, leaders Jamie Morris and August Falcon have another score to settle: Jamie has long adored August's delicate, beautiful sister Katrina. For just as long, August -- with threats of a duel to support him -- has denied Jamie the right to court her. Can August continue to oppose the match or, with the help of Gwendolyn Rossiter, will he learn the strength of true love?
