The Misadventures of Lady Ophelia
Summary
Quiet, reserved Lady Ophelia Fletcher always has her nose stuck in a book; hence why she didn't witness the death of her friend the fateful night of her passing.

When a handsome stranger arrives to meet with her father, Ophelia is helpless to keep from investigating the dashing lord.
Colin Parnell, Lord Hawke, has a promise to uphold: find the book that proves his grandpapa worked as a spy for King George II and did not die as a no-good smuggler off the coast of Kent. Shrouded in mystery and scandal, the Parnell family has been at war with one another for decades, and Colin is determined to put a stop to it all by discovering proof of the family's honorable past. Unfortunately, the book he seeks is in the hands of a fiery-haired beauty, and he'll need to enlist Ophelia's help to uncover the truth.
Ophelia is more than happy to use her skills to help Lord Hawke. But will their search for answers lead to misadventure, or will they get something greater than they bargained for: the truth and each other?
