A Season of Virtues
Description
The lovely debutante and the detective lord... — PANDEMONIUM IN PARK LANE — The Earl of Whitshire cared nothing for polite society, being quite dedicated to his secret pastime: the investigation of baffling murders. So when he unexpectedly found himself playing host to Sir Loyal Virtue's two marriageable daughters and their young brother, it was an inconvenience that complicated his present work of detection. For their arrival heralded the most hair-raising events -- from a runaway circus artiste to a Hyde Park prowler to phantoms in the attic. Of course, such goings-on did have the merit of throwing "Whit" together with Miss Honor Virtue, the eldest of his accidental wards whose gleaming topaz eyes and wry smile made him want to take her in his arms and keep her there forever. But Honor -- though captivated by the irrepressible Earl -- knew no woman of sense would tolerate a hazardous hobby like his. Unfortunately, her own sense seemed to be swept away in the whirlwind of sinister secrets and intriguing romance that made this a Season never to be forgotten...
