With her usual humor, passion and drama, Joanna Lindsay recounts new events in her beloved aristocratic Malory family, taking us back to the Regency era, with its exciting charm of enterprising rogues and energetic ladies. When Sir's daughter was kidnapped from London's Hyde Park Anthony Malory, a ransom note was delivered to the house of his brother James by mistake. But James and his wife George are traveling in the Caribbean, and the only guest in the house is Boyd Anderson, George's youngest brother. He, a famously impulsive American sea captain, will help Anthony find the girl and punish the reckless villain. Cheerful Katie Tyler, after the death of her mother, ran away from a dull small town in Connecticut, hoping to find adventure and romance on a big tour of Europe. One night at a hotel, she hears faint moaning in the room next door and finds a bound and gagged little girl. Having freed the girl, she agrees to escort her back to her family in London. But Katie doesn't expect to be accused by a big, handsome American of kidnapping the very girl she saved! What Katie doesn't know is that because she has caught the attention of Boyd Anderson, she will have a real opportunity to experience more passion and adventure than usually happens to young ladies on a European tour. And after meeting Mallory's family, Katie's life will never be dull again!
