A young woman disappears.

A husband is suspected of murder. Stirring times for all the neighborhood. When Captain Lewis Brabant returned from the open sea, all thought he meant to choose a bride. As eligible females readied to meet the dashing Captain Brabant, one woman of modest means stood away from the crowd and let her friend have a go at the bachelor.

In fact, Miss Caroline Whiston had no expectations, since she was a lady's companion. But no sooner had the two met than they felt a heady attraction, despite the odds. Would Captain Lewis defy convention and fall in love with this beguiling companion...?

An Unlikely Suitor

by Nicola Cornick

Published 7 June 2002

At twenty-three and a bluestocking to boot, Miss Lavender Brabant feels her chances of marriage have passed her by.

But the problem isn't that she's never met a man to make her pulse race. It's that she's an admiral's daughter–and the man of her dreams is a shopkeeper's son. Barnabas Hammond has the looks and confidence to mingle with all circles of society.

And to Lavender's amazement he is both well-read and a superlative swordsman. Could it be that this unlikely suitor is more suitable than he at first appears?
