Miss Quinn's Quandary
Larissa Quinn travels directly from Miss Simmons' Seminary
to the wilds of Westmoreland to care for her elderly aunt.
After the day-long journey, the only place for the weary travelers
to sleep is the barn of an over-booked inn with only a single vacancy.
Larissa has no intention of sleeping on a pile of straw, steps forward,
claiming to be newly wed to Sir Randall Trent, baronet and unwitting accomplice
in Larissa's scheme for adventure, in order to claim the last empty room.
Convinced they will never see one another again and that no one will be the wiser
about their little white lie, Larissa and Sir Randall part ways, through not before Sir Randall
can bestow upon Larissa a passionate kiss that sends her reeling. Both are surprised
to be thrown together again so soon in London for the season.
When their secret is discovered, Larissa and Sir Randall are forced to band together in the face
of a crime spree in which Sir Randall is implicated. Life is about to offer Larissa an
adventure unlike she had ever imagined.
The Reviews . . .
Marks mingles modern sensibilities with the traditional setting. The romance
that blooms between Larissa and Randall is predictable yet pleasing. A promising mystery element unfolds
haphazardly but may provide some additional appeal for readers who like both romances and suspense.
