Recently appointed to a hoped-for government post, Richard St. Clair struggles to suppress less-than-appropriate feelings for his new assistant, especially since he's seen through her disguise. He's a formally engaged man, after all. And he's got everything under control-until an unknown adversary slips him a love potion that unleashes his true affections. With the help of his once-enchanted sister, his policeman brother-in-law, and the woman he really loves, Richard scours Kingston for his foe and way to ethically express his heart's desires. The second installment in the "Roesia" series, "Richard: The Ethics of Affection" continues the story of the St. Clair family begun in "Aubrey: Remnants of Transformation."
