The Riddle of the Lost Lover

A MARRIAGEABLE MISS . . .

With Royal blood in her veins, Miss Consuela Carlotta Angelica Jones could look as high as she pleased for a husband. But when Captain Jack Vespa entered a room, she saw no further than his twinkling eyes. This war hero was the catch of the ton --- until he became its latest scandal. The on dit said he wasn't the late Sir Kendrick's true son. Without a proper lineage, the only man Consuela adored was the one she could never marry.

AN UNSUITABLE SUITOR . . .

Captain Jack Vespa was noble --- in spirit, that is. But was he common? Until he knew, he was forbidden to seek Consuela's hand. Now, from London's lanes to France's countryside, he would search for his mother's first lover. And as secrets from the past spilled forth, he might discover a timeless truth: Nothing can stop love --- or stop a lady socially out of reach from risking ruin in his arms.
