About The Penniless Peer

Lovely redheaded Fenella Lambert had loved her handsome cousin since they had played together as children. So when Lord Perequine Corbury returned from fighting Napoleon's Army to find himself destitute, it was she who suggested that daring plan that would regain his fortune-- even though it meant his marriage to another. In a daring bid to raise money for both marriage to Hetty Baldwyn, Periquine and his cousin Fenella embarked on a perilous adventure that brought her closer to danger than she had ever been before. They commit robbery, become highwaymen, turn smugglers and face countless dangers, it was only when Periquine found he might lose Fenella that he realised it was impossible to live without her.
