Synopsis: He Needed Peace…

     Attorney Tom Finchley has spent his life using his devious intellect to solve the problems of others. As for his own problems, they’re nothing that a bit of calculated vengeance can’t remedy. But that’s all over now. He’s finally ready to put the past behind him and settle down to a quiet, uncomplicated life. If only he could find an equally uncomplicated woman.

     Former lady’s companion Jenny Holloway has just been given a modest independence. Now, all she wants is a bit of adventure.

If she can discover the fate of the missing Earl of Castleton while she’s at it, so much the better.
