When Lady Dalrymple, Penelope
Coomb’s great-aunt, accepts an invitation to Lord Weston's prestigious house
party, Penny is most displeased. She was slighted by the Earl of Rushford
during her season and has no wish to repeat the experience.
Lord Weston, who secretly works
for the British government, is searching for the traitor who is smuggling gold
to France. He suspects the villain is masquerading as a pilot with a travelling
air balloon party, so Ned invites the balloonists to his home in order to
investigate his suspicions.
Penny is almost abducted on her
ride over to Headingley and this is only the beginning of a series of ever more
alarming events. James Weston, Ned’s cousin, is always there to offer her
support and comfort…
Will the handsome Frenchman,
Count Everex, evade capture or will he succeed in his nefarious plans?
