What Happens in London by Julia Quinn

Product Details

Synopsis

Rumors and Gossip . . . The lifeblood of London

When Olivia Bevelstoke is told that her new neighbor may have killed his fiancÉe, she doesn't believe it for a second, but, still, how can she help spying on him, just to be sure? So she stakes out a spot near her bedroom window, cleverly concealed by curtains, watches, and waits . . . and discovers a most intriguing man, who is definitely up to something.

Sir Harry Valentine works for the boring branch of the War Office, translating documents vital to national security. He's not a spy, but he's had all the training, and when a gorgeous blonde begins to watch him from her window, he is instantly suspicious. But just when he decides that she's nothing more than an annoyingly nosy debutante, he discovers that she might be engaged to a foreign prince, who might be plotting against England. And when Harry is roped into spying on Olivia, he discovers that he might be falling for her himself . . .

Beautiful, well-dowered, and nobly born, Lady Olivia Bevelstoke is practically on the shelf at 21, when the enigmatic Harry Valentine—rumored to have killed his fiancée—moves in next door. Curious and attracted, Olivia follows her dubious instincts and finds herself in more trouble than she'd ever imagined—and also more in love. VERDICT Funny, endearing, and full of adventure, this lively tale retains all of Quinn's characteristic witty charm but adds a dangerous dash of mystery that is sure to delight her many fans. Quinn (Mr. Cavendish, I Presume) lives in the Pacific Northwest.
