In Pursuit of a Lady. A Regency Historical Romance (en Inglés) - Maggi Andersen

Ex-army mates tangle with teasing ladies in merry, dangerous dance.

The death of Captain Jack Ryder's father, the Duke of Stamford, leaves Jack restless. Despite being born out of wedlock, Jack felt his father was always there for him. Fed up with his obnoxious stepmother and her vile, avaricious relatives who make his life a misery, Jack dresses in buckskin breeches and takes to the road on his horse with the intention of visiting his mother's grave in Ireland. But after one day, events conspire to interrupt his plans. Jack finds himself not only caught up in a conspiracy of immense proportions, but also in a passionate love affair with a lady he cannot marry. Lady Althea Lambourne's father, the Marquess of Butterstone, has been murdered, and Jack promises to find his killer.

Lady Erina Rountree refuses to accept an arranged marriage with Captain Ryder's friend Harry Feather. She yearns for adventure, and life with Mr. Feather would be dreadfully dull. Erina believes Harry wants a peaceful life while she thirsts for adventure. If only their fathers would give up their plan to see them married.

When Erina involves Harry in a clandestine journey to Ireland to help her cousin, she is surprised to find he means much more to him than she suspected. But he doesn't love her and made it plain he doesn't want to marry her.

Can the two couples overcome the obstacles standing in their way and find a path to a happy ending?
