Lost in the Lyon’s Garden by Regina Jeffers

Was it too late for love, now that she had found it?

Lord Benjamin Thompson and Miss Victoria Whitchurch met quite accidentally under an umbrella on a rainy day in London. They collided as they darted around the corner of a building, but neither realized the ramifications of their meeting. Miss Whitchurch was in London to locate her missing sister, a fallen woman who had cost the Whitchurch family everything. Lord Thompson was concentrating on his family’s lack of clues as to who shot his father. Neither understood how fate had just changed both their lives forever.

After a near fatal encounter outside the infamous Lyon’s Den gaming hell, Thompson could not shake the idea that his family of trained agents for the British government had overlooked something important. There had to be more clues to discover, and, unlike his brothers, men of action, Thompson was a man of reason. Of analysis. Of humanity. He knew them all well, and they had never failed him previously, but when additional encounters with Miss Whitchurch proved the woman was in danger, he turned his sense of reason on ways to protect the lady. Little did Thompson know, their lives had overlapped more than he expected.

Seamstress and former music teacher, Miss Victoria Whitchurch is on a mission to find her sister after Cassandra left her illegitimate son in the room the sisters had once shared, walking away from her responsibilities in typical Cassandra fashion. Yet, London is so large, and Victoria has never known city life beyond Bath. She means to protect the infant boy entrusted to her care.

The tall, sexy English lord may be clueless about her feelings for him, but Victoria knows he is the only one who can keep her and the child safe. As a vengeful killer targets both Thompson’s family and hers, desire and something more draws Victoria and Benjamin closer. Together, can they discover justice for the child and safeguard their newly created family?
