Elizabeth Hoyt, . . Forever, $6.99 (368pp) ISBN 978-0-446-40691-8

One of the men killed was Captain Reynaud, beloved brother of widowed Lady Emeline Gordon. Since this respected society matron also chaperones society's young maidens, Samuel contrives to meet her by asking her help in preparing his sister Rebecca to enter London society.
