Laurence dismounted quickly and came to help her out of the saddle. She reached down to place her hands on his shoulders intending to jump down, but he surprised her by grasping her about the waist in a firm hold and lifting her down without, it seemed, any great amount of effort.

Résumé
Dignified, reserved, and every inch the gentleman, Laurence Westerby, the fifth Viscount Carteret, finds his ordered and predictable world turned on its head when a mysterious lady steps into his private parlour. He thinks her spirited, reckless, and undoubtedly in need of his protection.
Confident, frank, and used to managing her own affairs, Miss Cassandra Fenton does not like the role of damsel in distress. Laurence seems determined to help her out of her immediate difficulties, however. His chivalry reminds her of all the reasons she is so unsuited to marriage.
An unlikely friendship is forged, but will it survive the pressures of potential abductors, smugglers and a suspected murderer?
