Shana Galen, When Dashing Met Danger

When Dashing Met Danger

Shana Galen

In 1805 England, at a party Lady Lucia Dashing is manhandled by her drunken fianc Reginald Dandridge over her objections. Earl Alexander Scarston intercedes and is a bit taken aback by how beautiful she has become. He last saw her five years ago as a young teen at their siblings' marriage. Ignoring the bluster of Reginald and Lucia's insistence that she is fine, Alex insures her safety using his "brotherly" connection though he admits to himself he does not have sibling thoughts about her.

An espionage maestro Alexander is concerned that Lucia's twin brother is missing. As he begins to investigate the disappearance, Lucia refuses to stay out of his inquiry. As the spymaster and the debutante work together, they fall in love, but he believes he is too old for her and lives too dangerous a life for a wife; she thinks otherwise.

WHEN DASHING MET DANGER is an exciting Regency romantic suspense starring two interesting protagonists. The story line is action-packed gripping fans from the moment Alex intercedes and never slows down until the exhilarating climax. Though the lead couple is typical of the sub-genre with the heroine being feisty and independent and her champion being a courageous sacrificing for England hero, readers will appreciate this fine thriller.
