> Fiction Books > Romance Books

BRestless and disaffected, Jonas Tallent, Lucifer Cynster's brother-in-law, happily leaves the ballrooms of London and returns to Devon to manage his family's estate. His most pressing concern is to find a new innkeeper, a task that proves difficult -- until Emily Beauregard applies for the position.

A lady-innkeeper is not what Jonas had in mind, especially not one who invokes his protective streak. But Em is desperate to remain in Colyton village with her siblings. She refuses to take no for an answer, jockeys Jonas into hiring her -- then sets about making the inn the center of village life.

But Em has her own agenda -- she's in Colyton to hunt for her family's treasure, guided by a cryptic rhyme. Orphaned, near penniless, the treasure is her and her siblings' future, but solving the rhyme is no easy task. Only once she accepts Jonas as her lover and enlists his aid do they start to unravel the clues. But someone else also has the Colyton treasure in their sights, and the closer Em draws to her family's legacy the greater the danger grows ... to her, her family, and the treasure she's discovered in Jonas's arms.

About the Author: Stephanie Laurens

Romance set against the backdrop of Regency England were the first Stephanie Laurens ever read, and they continue to exert a special attraction. On escaping from the dry world of professional science to carve out a career as a writer, Stephanie published either Regency romances, then turned to longer, historical romances set in the Regency period. Her first -- Captain Jack's Woman -- was published by Avon Books in 1977. Subsequent books from Avon have told the tales of the Bar Cynster -- a group of masterful, arrogant cousins of the ducal Cynster dynasty. Devils' Bride, A Rake's Vow, Scandal's Bride, A Rouge's Proposal and A Secret Love have documented handsome Cynsters. All About Love continues the series.

Residing in a leafy bayside suburb of Melbourne, Australia, Stephanie divides her free time between her husband, two teenaged daughters, and two cats, Shakespeare and Marlowe.
