Never Doubt I Love

 " ."

Time: Autumn 1748

Foreign Titles: Zweifle nie an meiner Lieb German

Synopsis:
In this fifth installment in Patricia Veryan's charming Georgian series, the unlikely twosome of a country miss and a dashing soldier join forces in the fight against the traitorous League of the Jewelled Men. Miss Zoe Grainger , a farmer's daughter, is an innocent but fiery-eyed gel rather used to speaking her mind instead of observing a ladylike silence. Lieutenant Peregrine Cranford, on the other hand, has grown up rnjoying the sophistication of London society and the adventure of military service.
Their first encounter is more shouting match than flirtation, but before long Perry is enchanted by Zoe's sparkling laugh and earnest conversation; their feelings soon tumble out of their own hands into the care of Cupid -- and the nefarious League. It is the League's design to use their attraction to distract them from its latest, most treacherous task.
For, unbeknownst to Zoe and Perry, whose friends have fought the League in the past, Zoe's brother Travis has become involved with the patriots and thus has become the League's next target. Unfortunately, the sinister arm of the League reaches further into their lives than Zoe and Perry could ever guess. By the time they've discovered how far, more than just Travis' life is at stake.
Zoe and Perry join the ranks of Patricia Veryan's other delightful patriots, including Lieutenant James Morris and Lieutenant August Falcon, bringing this magical series one step closer to what promises to be a most dramatic conclusion.


Alternate Synopsis:
SHE WAS A SIMPLE COUNTRY MISS - CAUGHT UP IN A WORLD OF DANGER AND ROMANCE!

Zoe Grainger arrived in London for a Season under the auspices of her dreadfully vain and disagreeable sponsor, Lady Clara Buttershaw. But even the awful Lady Buttershaw could not spoil Zoe's chances for love, especially when a chance encounter threw her in the way of Lieutenant Peregrine Cranford.
And as love embraced Zoe, so did danger. For when Zoe discovered that her brother had become the target of the nefarious League of Jewelled Men, she courageously endeavored to protect him - and the man who had come to claim her heart....


Foreign Synopses:
Miss Zoe Grainger, Tochter eines Bauern, ist ein unschuldiges, aber unerschrockenes MŠdchen, das mehr daran gewšhnt ist zu reden, wie ihm der Schnabel gewachsen ist, als ladylike zu schweigen. Leutnant Peregrine Cranford dagegen ist in der raffinierten und formvollendeten hšheren Gesellschaft Londons gro§ geworden. Kein Wunder also, da§ die erste Begegnung zwischen diesen beiden Menschen eher einem heftigen Streit als einem Flirt Šhnelt! Doch es dauert nicht lange, da ist Perry wie verzaubert von Zoes perlendem Lachen und ihrem ernsthaften Interesse an allem, was ihn betrifft. Bald sind beide in zŠrtlicher Liebe zueinander entbrannt. Sie ahnen nicht, da§ finstere Gauner Bšses im Schilde fŸhren und ihre Zuneigung auf hinterhŠltigste Weise ausnŸtzen wollen... Eine neue hinrei§ende Geschichte dieser Autorin aus dem alten England.
