tale of grand adventure On the verge of a stilted life as an aristocrat’s wife,
Poppy Hammond does the only sensible thing - she flees the chapel in her wedding gown.
Assisted by the handsome curate who calls himself Sebastian Cantrip, she spirits away to
her estranged father’s quiet country village, pursued by the family she left in
uproar. But when the dust of her broken engagement settles and Sebastian disappears
under mysterious circumstances, Poppy discovers there is more to her hero than it seems.

incognita - east across the seas, chasing a hunch and the whisper of clues. Danger
abounds beneath the canopies of the silken city, and Poppy finds herself in the perilous
sights of those who will stop at nothing to recover a fabled ancient treasure. Torn
between allegiance to her kindly employer and a dashing, shadowy figure, Poppy will risk
it all as she attempts to unravel a much larger plan - one that stretches to the very
heart of the British government, and one that could endanger everything, and everyone,
that she holds dear. [unknown-8220]Raybourn skillfully balances humor and earnest,
deadly drama, creating well-drawn characters and a rich setting.[unknown-8221] -

Everyone has warned new-minted realtor Savannah Martin that real estate is a cutthroat business. But Savannah doesn’t think she’s supposed to take the warning literally ... until an early morning phone call sends her to an empty house on the ‘bad’ side of town, where she finds herself standing over the butchered body of a competitor, face to face with the boy her mother always warned her about.
