SummaryBelmond's much-beloved debut novel, A Rather Lovely
Inheritance was "a rare gem" (Romance Reviews
Today) and "An entertaining yarn with family drama and
intrigue aplenty." (Booklist). Now, in the eagerly
anticipated sequel, A Rather Curious Engagement, our
American freelancer-turned-heiress Penny Nichols is back for
more fun—and another engaging international romp with
her English hero, Jeremy.
Penny has the great London flat, the classic car, the villa
in France, the fabulous bank account, and a great guy to
share them with. So everything's perfect, right? Right? Er,
well...
Pursued by gigolos, gold-diggers, an ex-wife, and highly
aggressive salesmen chasing after their millions, Penny and
Jeremy decide to take the summer off and sock away most of
their inheritance for one year. But they allow themselves
one big "splurge" from their wish list—and that's where
all the trouble begins. At an auction on the French Riviera,
Penny and Jeremy win much more than they bargain for,
uncovering a centuries-old rivalry involving the theft of a
priceless treasure linked to Beethoven's Germany, the
mysterious island of Corsica, a luxurious 1920s yacht, and a
medieval castle on Lake Como, Italy.
