“Alexander spins pure fun in the first full-length installment of her Victorian-era Lady Travelers Guide series . . . Readers will savor every page.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Really, it’s too much to expect any normal man to behave like a staid accountant in order to inherit the fortune he deserves to support the lifestyle of an earl. So when Derek Saunders’s favorite elderly aunt and her ill-conceived—and possibly fraudulent—Lady Travelers Society loses one of their members, what’s a man to do but step up to the challenge? Now he’s escorting the world’s most maddening woman to the world’s most romantic city to find her missing relative. While India Prendergast only suspects his organization defrauds gullible travelers, she’s certain a man with as scandalous a reputation as Derek Saunders cannot be trusted any farther than the distance around his very broad shoulders. As she struggles not to be distracted by his wicked smile and the allure of Paris, instead of finding a lost lady traveler, India just may lose her head, her luggage and her heart. “A delightfully humorous romantic adventure. Alexander enhances the missing person’s mystery with wonderful descriptions of London and Paris, but best of all is her cast of characters: three charming elderly ladies, two companions, an independent spinster and a swoon-worthy hero. Add to this several laugh-out-loud escapades and a surprising ending, and you have the fun read of the season!” —RT Book Reviews (4 stars) “A brilliant and charming tale.” —Fresh Fiction
