An Improper Aristocrat by Deb Marlowe - The Earl of Treyford left England for a life of adventure in Egypt, but he finds himself unwillingly returning to his home country after his business partner (and friend) Richard Latimer is killed by mysterious thieves. Richard's last wish was for Trey to protect his sister Chione. He arrives to find Chione struggling to keep her family and estate together in the face of her brother's death and grandfather's disappearance. Chione and Trey are soon buried in a mystery surrounding the family and an ancient artifact, a mystery that is quickly becoming a matter of life and death. Adventure and romance, set in England in the early 1800's, it has a good mixture of both and a fast-paced story.
