Romance Historical
Court-martialed after a night on leave lands him in bed with
an unwed young lady of Quality, Lieutenant-Colonel Hastings
Adair faces the ultimate disgrace and is dishonorably
discharged from service. All the while, though, Adair
proclaims his innocence, saying that he met Miss Alice Prior
at a ball, and after a pleasant chat, she sent him a
desperate note asking him asking him to see her home. He
obliged, of course, and his last recollection of that
evening was of getting into the carriage. Abandoned by his
family and all but a few friends, Adair sets out to find the
lady he is accused of having ruined. Mysteriously, though,
Alice Prior has disappeared. After a wild chase that has Adair fighting for his life more
than once, Miss Prior is finally found-forcefully married to
the rogue that abducted her. As his wife, she is unable to
testify against him, but Adair and his faithful friends,
Paige Manderville and Toby Broderick, devise a risky trap
that not only catches the rogue, but foils a dangerous
political plot as well. This is the third installment in "genre master" (Publishers
Weekly) Patricia Veryan's acclaimed Regency series, begun
with THE RIDDLE OF ALABASTER ROYAL and followed by THE
RIDDLE OF THE LOST LOVER, and her fans will instantly
recognize her signature mix of heart-stopping suspense and
delightful romantic adventure here.
