The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
IT BEGAN on the exact moment of a November afternoon in 1801 when young Dr. Humphrey Shadbolt chanced to look into the soft blue eyes of another passenger, seated near him in the coach from Cambridge.
Her name was Letitia Rowan, traveling to join her aunt, the proprietress of a notorious coffee house in Bury St. Edmunds.
With that glance love came to Dr. Shadbolt. With love came a determination to save Letty from hazards which, it seemed, she was too innocent even to recognize. And with that noble determination came the act which diverted Dr. Shadbolt's career from medicine to more lucrative, clandestine, and dangerous pursuits.
Subtle suspense, swift drama, and rousing adventure Miss Lofts has combined in a sophisticated novel which proves once more that she is, as the New York Times has said, "a top-notch teller of stories."
