Embark on the breathtaking romantic adventures of The Lady Travelers Society in the brand new series by 1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria AlexanderReally, it s too much to expect any normal man to behave like a staid accountant in order to inherit the fortune he deserves to support the lifestyle of an earl So when Derek Saunders s favourite elderly aunt and her ill conceived and possibly fraudulent Lady Travelers Society loses one of their members, what s a man to do but step up to the challenge Now he s escorting the world s most maddening woman to the world s most romantic city to find her missing relative.While India Prendergast only suspects his organisation defrauds gullible travelers, she s certain a man with as scandalous a reputation as Derek Saunders cannot be trusted any farther than the distance around his very broad shoulders As she struggles not to be distracted by his wicked smile and the allure of Paris, instead of finding a lost lady traveler, India just may lose her head, her luggage and her heart.

entertaining I absolutely loved the characters of Val, who was hilarious, and Mother, who always knew best of course.I highly ...I am wavering between 3 and 4 stars here I enjoyed it, but there were a
