No Place for a Lady Summary
| The Napoleonic Wars are changing the face of Europe. The old order has been destroyed, but Napoleon is on the loose again. What and who will emerge the final victors to shape the new world? Lady Janette Dupree wants to go home; to the home her mother longed for as the French revolution tore her country apart. With both parents now dead, she wants to help her brother re-establish their family in Paris. But a bullet through their town house window, made it clear she's not safe yet. Wounded, she must accede to her brother's wishes and return to England; a noble exileùagain. American diplomat, Andrew Delong, has his own desperate reasons for being in England. As an envoy of President Madison, he must secure vital trade treaties with England if the shaky new America is to survive as a nation.

The Guilworth's have an elegant summer home in Brighton, but it's not big enough to keep Janette and Andrew apart. As her cousin, the Duchess of Guilworth, begins in earnest to find her an appropriate husband among the English nobility, Janette makes up her mind that she will not marry an English Lord, no matter what her relatives think best for her. All the nobles at the Prince Regent's summer court in Brighton leave her cold. The only remotely interesting male is the American diplomat, and her cousin says he is "taken". When another attempt on her life occurs, Drew realizes that his feelings for Janette are far stronger than friendship and that he must unmask the shadowy assassin before she is harmed. He must also deal with a fianc?e in Virginia, the girl next door, waiting for him. As her brother struggles in France to find out who wishes to harm them, Janette... |
