Love Overseas

Jean-Claude Marbot, son of an exiled French aristocrat, is content to live a quiet life managing his bookshop and writing his books. Love isn’t something he bothers with since, years ago, a beautiful and spoiled lady thoroughly trampled his heart. And when Felicity Fairmont enters his life, he is determined to keep her at arm’s length since she, too, is one of those fickle daughters of the peerage. But romance is the least of his worries since he has decided to weather the dangers of war-torn France to find his long-lost sister.

Felicity Fairmont’s debutante season is shaping up nicely until she becomes embroiled in an ugly scandal. The censure-causing Event is a nasty surprise since it was cold-heartedly manufactured by the suitor she hoped to marry. Facing insurmountable disgrace, Felicity flees the situation by jumping into a harebrained scheme to help Jean-Claude—without realizing that her actions might lead to his death. But danger isn’t their only worry; the villian who caused the scandal is still determined to cause her pain.
