If you like stories set in the Regency period, I'm sure you'll like this one.  If you want the story to include mystery and romance with no sex, this is definitely the book for you.  Sir Nathan Bancroft is known for discreetly helping others with "problems" and is hired by Mrs. Beatrice Phillips to find out why her granddaughter, Vanessa Phillips, is withdrawing so much money each month.  What is she using it for?  Does it involve blackmail like her grandmother suspects?  Vanessa has no interest in love or marriage, so Nathan, though handsome and personable, has his work cut out for him in finding the truth behind Vanessa's secrets.  He discovers the truth, and works everything out for their own happily-ever-after, but only after some misconceptions about Vanessa.  This is a short story that held my interest from beginning to end.  I was privileged to get an advance copy to read and am very glad that I did.  I want others to enjoy this book as much as I did.
