All Smiles

LONDON 1821

7 Mayfair Square, an elegant townhouse, during the glittering whirl of a London season. Here, with a little help form a most unusual matchmaker, anything is possible -- even unlikely love between a nobleman and a confounding parson's daughter....

What Meg Smiles lacks in wealth, she more than makes up for in audacity and determination, both quickly harnessed when Jean-Marc, Count Etranger, and his sister take up residence across the square. Now gainfully employed as companion to the count's madcap sister, Meg discovers it is not her charge who occupies her thoughts, but the girl's enigmatic older brother.

When Meg becomes the victim of a series of strange accidents, Jean-Marc finds his austere world turned upside down. And when it becomes alarmingly clear that Meg's very life is in danger, Jean-Marc's desire for this unsuitable but enchanting woman overcomes his sense of propriety. He vows to ensure her safety, even if it means keeping her close to him, day and night...

Hero: Count Jean-Marc Etranger
Heroine: Meg Smiles
