Description
When he's mistaken for her husband-to-be, is that prophetic? Miss Lucinda Calvert's quiet life as a rector's daughter is turned topsy-turvy by the arrival of a gentleman new to the area. Mr John Harris seems respectable, but sets the village gossips wagging with speculation about his past-on which topic he is very private indeed. He pays her particular attention, and his mysterious papers and odd habits confuse her almost as much as his unexpected kiss! Then speculation of a French spy in show more their midst, taking advantage of the nearby military encampment, sets Lucinda worrying. Could the man she has grown so fond of-perhaps even loves-be a traitor? Full of charming Regency village life with amusing characters-human and animal alike-Dinah Dean's sweet and clean romance is perfect for fans of richly detailed historical romance like those by Georgette Heyer and Mimi Matthews. show lessTags

This was very sweet and dryly amusing. Lucinda was an excellent heroine, and despite the fact that it was entirely obvious what was going on in the 'mystery' thread, I found this most enjoyable.
