" ."

Time: Autumn 1818

Foreign Titles: Der zŠrtliche Spion German

Synopsis:
Miss Marietta Warrington is the backbone of her family, now that her endearing but reckless widowed father has gambled away their family fortune. The family rents the dower house of an abandoned estate, Lanterns, and scrambles to save money, while Marietta and her sister hope to make advantageous matches in order to help support them.
One afternoon while playing near the mansion, Marietta's brother, five-year-old Arthur Warrington, discovers a mysterious and, Marietta soon learns, attractive stranger called Diccon living among the ruins. Though neighborhood rumor and Diccon's own evasions suggest that he's a smuggler, Marietta cannot help but glimpse hints of Diccon's gentlemanly honor peeking out from under his smuggler's facade. Such discoveries convince her that Diccon can't be telling the truth about his identity, and only intrigue her more ...
One of our most beloved Regency writers revisits her most popular series, The Sanguinet Saga, in this charming tale of romance and adventure.

Reviews:
"Reliable Veryan, mixing romance, humor, light mystery, and a satisfyingly noisy finish with just enough touches of period diction and mores to add the right Regency flavor." Kirkus Reviews
