Gentleman's Quest

Two for the road…Kit Marchant's peace and quiet is upended when Hero Ingram comes looking for a volume of arcane lore he doesn't want her to find. Someone else is after it, too, and as the two of them head from danger into danger, he's determined to protect her—even from himself. Hero is accustomed to doing what she must on her own, and that includes obtaining a valuable book by any means necessary.
