A Matter of Honour — Stephanie Howard

Giles was missing!

And Beth Carson had to find him. Her stepfather was dying, and without Gile's signature, her mother would be left homeless. But since coming to Italy, Beth had made no progress at all.

Worse still, she had a shadow -- Signor Lorenzo dei Cesari, the high-and-mighty master of all he surveyed. And that apparently included her.

One could swat away a fly, but wherever she turned, this particular pest appeared as if by magic. What was she going to do?

Hero: Signor Lorenzo dei or del Cesari
Heroine: Elizabeth "Beth" Carson
