After his adventures in Africa, Edward Steele is determined to return to Collingbourne in time for Christmas but is delayed when a fast friend aboard ship grows ill and needs his help--a change in plans, disappointing at first, that leads him to meet a very intriguing young woman.

What captured my attention about this book was the fact that it had so much action and adventure. There were twists and turns in the story line that were new to me, and the surprise in the middle of the book sent me for a loop! I wasn’t able to put it down!

This is the last book in the series. I found it quite entertaining. My aunt also left me this one when she came out. I was eventually able to find the first two in the series. It is a nice touch of clean fiction. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0736909125, Paperback)

Edward Steele is at last on his way home and determined to be in Collingbourne before Christmas—but that was before he met Denley and Osborne.

Sailing from Africa to England, Edward meets these two very different men aboard ship. Osborne chooses to ignore everyone while Denley and Edward find themselves much together. But as their journey continues, Denley begins to feel unwell. By the time the ship stops in Lisbon, Portugal, he is very sick indeed.

Not able to ignore his traveling companion’s plight, Edward abandons his goal of going home and disembarks with Denley and Osborne. He never dreams that his association with them will lead to the mysterious Nicola Bettencourt, a woman who captivates and confounds him in equal measures.
