A Lovelorn Lady — In an attempt to recover from the rumors surrounding her jilted engagement, lively Jennifer Dryden hoped to find sanctuary in the calming atmosphere of the blue-washed coast of Cornwall. Instead, a passionate kiss enroute in the arms of a gentlemen she hoped never to see again returned to haunt her once she arrived in Trevarris. For the gentleman in questions was none other than her new neighbor, Piers St. Robyn, the Earl of Trevarris. Jenny puzzled over what the rakish earl was doing so far from London ton, and in an effort to find the answer, she discovered much more than she bargained for--enough to threaten her very life!

The London ofice had dispatched Piers St. Robyn to his country home with the ostensible purpose of investigating a smuggling operation. But this was only a cover for much more, for an invasion by the French along the southern coast of England was imminent and Piers had to discover when and where. the last thing he needed was the interference of the impulsive and willful Jenny Dryden. Not that she wasn't a pleasant distration indeed, but with the fate of England hanging in the balance, romantic dalliance could not be allowed to interfere---or could it?
