Publisher's Synopsis
After her mother died, vivacious Katey Tyler fled her dull Connecticut town, hoping to meet her relatives in England and find adventure and romance on a grand tour of Europe. She had no idea that her life-changing travels would have both in spades - as well as danger and intrigue - when she catches the eye of ship owner Boyd Anderson and inadvertently stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping. When Sir Anthony Malory s young daughter is abducted from London s Hyde Park, her kidnapper mistakenly sends the ransom note to the home of Sir Anthony s brother, James. With James and his wife, Georgina, in the Caribbean, the demands are received by their houseguest Georgina s youngest brother, Boyd Anderson. Searching for the girl with Anthony, the notoriously hot-headed American sea captain fully intends to make the foolhardy villain pay. But he hardly expects to find exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship, at the center of the plot! Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson - and in meeting up with the Malorys she s about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour, and her life will never be dull again. For a multitude of surprises await Katey, from the startling truth about her mother s early life. . . to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him - but who can t resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her."
