Deborah and the Mystery Man Amelia Fernside

Never too old for love or adventure. A widow, a ray of hope, a disappointing ball, sadness, two surprise visitors, an invitation, a journey, one good man, one rake, theft, disillusionment, fear, courage, triumph, and love. An inspirational story of Deborah and her two dowager friends, looking for love after losing their husbands. Neither wants to spend her life alone. But, it's just not done by real Ladies. Their courage, support and loyalty to each other is unwavering. No more black dresses and loneliness. Time for a change. Time for an adventure. Deborah is happy when longtime friend, Harry Webber, a Scotland Yard detective, pays her a visit. She invites him to dinner, but meanwhile, Owen Godart, a handsome wealthy art critic, shows up. He sweeps her off her feet and carries her off on the adventure she desired. A world of luxury, fancy dresses and restaurants, gifts and compliments, impressive jewelry, and high value art overwhelm her. But something is not quite right, and Deborah knows it. But, how can she safely extract herself now that she's in his web? She knows he's dangerous and does not want to confront him. Will love ever be hers, or will her folly end that hope?
