Description
“Alexander spins pure fun in the first full-length installment of her Victorian-era Lady Travelers Guide series . . . Readers will savor every page.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
 
Really, 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 favorite 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 organization 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.
 
“A delightfully humorous romantic adventure. Alexander enhances the missing person’s mystery with wonderful descriptions of London and Paris, but best of all is her cast of characters: three charming elderly ladies, two companions, an independent spinster and a swoon-worthy hero. Add to this several laugh-out-loud escapades and a surprising ending, and you have the fun read of the season!” —RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
 
“A brilliant and charming tale.” —Fresh Fiction

        Starred review from May 1, 2017
        Prolific historical romance author Alexander (The Daring Exploits of a Runaway Heiress) spins pure fun in the first full-length installment of her Victorian-era Lady Travelers Guide series. Stuffy, demanding spinster India Prendergast wants to stay at her secretarial position in England, but her beloved cousin Lady Heloise Snuggs has vanished in Paris, and India is determined to find her. The fraudulent Lady Travelers Society���run by the widow Lady Guinevere Blodgett and two of her friends���arranged Heloise���s trip, and they respond to her disappearance by sending Lady Blodgett���s grandnephew Derek Saunders, heir to the Earl of Danby, to help India search. Naturally, sparks fly between Derek and India as they solve the mystery. Alexander���s protagonists remain sharp while changing for the better by beginning to trust each other and admit their own fallibility. Her secondary characters, including the city of Paris at the turn of the 20th century, provide support and delightful eccentricity. Alexander celebrates the spirit of adventure, elevates dubious scheming with good intentions, and advocates for the yielding of judgment and practicality to hedonism and happiness. Readers will savor every page.

        Starred review from May 1, 2017
        India Prendergast has one question for the Lady Travelers Society and Assistance Agency: What the heck have they done with her dear cousin Lady Heloise Snuggs? More than six weeks ago, Heloise set off for a tour of the continent with an itinerary arranged by the society, but it has been weeks since India has received any word from her. After meeting with the trio of septuagenarians in charge of the societyLady Guinevere Blodgett, Mrs. Fitzhew-Weilmore, and Mrs. HigginbothamIndia is convinced the charming little old ladies are running some kind of scam. So when Lady Blodgett's great-nephew, Derek Saunders, offers to set off for Paris himself to track down Heloise, India insists on accompanying him, whether the annoyingly charming man likes it or not. Readers will immediately find themselves thoroughly disarmed by Alexander's (The Daring Exploits of a Runaway Heiress, 2015) deliciously droll wit and flair for clever characterization, both of which are on full display in this exceptional start to the author's sparkling new Lady Travelers Society series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
