Regency Road Trip, a novella

Two friends join forces in a quest to find a lost heir – but what they discover surprises them both.

After a long absence and a premature declaration of death, Colonel Lord Salford returns from the dead to find his estate in ruins, thanks to his cousin and presumptive heir, a gambler and a scoundrel. In order to protect his estate from future ruin by his corrupt cousin (and avoid a marriage of convenience), the Earl enlists the aid of his friend, retired governess Eliza Merryhew, in a quest to locate a missing heir.
Miss Merryhew’s former pupil set her up for life, and never has she been more comfortable....or more bored. Years of travel, while often precarious and even dangerous, gave her a taste for adventure, and now she is restless with the sedate gentility of her daily routine. So she is eager to join Lord Salford on his mission.
To keep their search from public notice, they travel incognito -- Miss Merryhew as a Baron’s widow, and the Earl as her devoted manservant Gervase.
Together these two will prove you’re never too old for adventure, or for romance.
(This novella follows the adventure of secondary characters introduced in my first Regency romance, A Feather To Fly With, and the action in this story takes place between the final chapter and the epilog of that previous work.)
