Batten down the hatches, murder and mayhem on board. Posionings? A loose cobra? Someone tossing men overboard? In this Regency novella, nothing ruffles sleuth Lady Eleanor's feathers as she sorts through the clues to a rather unusual result. But is she sleuth enough to uncover the obstacles blocking two hearts? Lady Bentwood admits, "Unnerving, to tell the story of my own undoing, but there you have it …" No matter the danger to herself, Lady Bentwood is determined to protect her 'Charlie,' a man too gallant to abandon her. A rushed wedding, to rescue his childhood friend from scandal, Lord Bentwood is not sorry for it, until he becomes a murderer's target. Escaping death more than once is almost worth the danger. Each attempt nudges his wife closer until her past comes to haunt them both.
