A Perilous Plan

Book 1 in the Imperiled Young Widows Regency Romance series. Penelope Hammond finds herself a widow at the age of twenty-three, having been married five years to a man she barely knew. Her husband, Lord Hampstead, rarely said more than a few words to her in a week's time--and often did not come home at night. But he was a wealthy English earl with no enemies, so why was he murdered?Penelope is a penniless widow with few friends and only her cold grandmother to lean on. When she finds herself running from both English officials and French spies, she doesn't know who to trust-until a handsome Member of Parliament, Henry Gilchrist, saves her from being attacked and kidnapped. Henry Gilchrist seems to know more about her husband than she does--that he was unfaithful to her, that his gambling problem had sunk him deeply in debt, and that he had stolen some very important plans that could put the entire country in danger. And now both the French and the English governments think she knows where these plans are. When Penelope starts to fall in love with the handsome young Member of the House of Commons, will he be too embittered from a former lost love to accept his feelings for Penelope? But first they must save themselves from those who would do them harm, or there will be no future for them, either together or apart.
