The eyes have it in Drake’s fourth Victorian-set Cinderella Sisterhood romance (after Abducted by a Prince). Isabella Jones is firmly on the shelf at age 29, but her blue eyes mesmerize Miles Grayson, the autocratic Duke of Aylwin. Miles intimidates everyone with his ducal stare, but Bella can withstand it. Bella believes Miles possesses an ancient map to Egyptian treasure that his father was supposed to share with her. With the help of the Countess of Milford and her garnet slippers, she disguises herself and convinces him to hire
her to curate his father’s Egyptian artifacts. Their attraction takes predictable turns; Miles utters Bella’s name while having sex with a prostitute and later concludes that Bella has mistaken passion for love, while she believes herself unworthy to be a duchess. Drake (a pseudonym for Rita-winner Barbara Dawson Smith) uses Bella’s Egyptian upbringing to good effect, but the story’s major red herring is too obvious, Miles’s gold-digging relatives are one-dimensional, and a ghostly subplot fizzles out. Agent: Stephanie Kip Rostan, Levine Greenberg Literary.
