A Most Extraordinary Pursuit by Juliana Gray
Known for her original plots, deft characterization, and lyrical voice, Juliana Gray presents an extraordinary novel of an uncommon pursuit...February, 1906. As the personal secretary of the recently departed Duke of Olympia-and a woman of scrupulous character-Miss Emmeline Rose Truelove never expected her duties to involve steaming through the Mediterranean on a private yacht, under the prodigal eye of one Lord Silverton, the most charmingly corrupt bachelor in London. But here they are, improperly bound on a quest to find the duke's enigmatic heir, current whereabouts unknown.
An expert on anachronisms, Maximilian Haywood was last seen at an archaeological dig on the island of Crete. And from the moment Truelove and Silverton disembark, they are met with incidents of a suspicious nature- a ransacked flat, a murdered government employee, an assassination attempt. As they travel from port to port on Max's trail, piecing together the strange events of the days before his disappearance, Truelove will discover the folly of her misconceptions-about the whims of the heart, the motives of men, and the nature of time itself...
Juliana Gray started writing as a child to escape the boredom of being locked in her room, and then turned to romance to escape the boredom of unsuitable suitors. Despite living in the most affluent neighborhoods of London for five years, she never met a duke, however she did share a taxi with a future baron. A Lady Never Lies, A Gentleman Never Tells, and A Duke Never Yields, Juliana's debut romance trilogy, received great accolades, including the RT Book Review's Award of Excellence for August 2012. She is also the author of Abroad and A Hundred Seasons, both published by G.
