The Missing Eagles

Cairo, Egypt 1813

The Bakhoum and Nacif families were arranging a marriage. The dowry was negotiated in letters, some in pictorial writings to disguise the possession of priceless family heirlooms. When a few notes fall in the hands of a British naval officer, family members go missing.

Lady Mathilda

A Missing Eagles Novella

Against her better judgment, Mathilda Sears takes a job as a lady’s companion in London. Complications arise when polite society goes abuzz over a missing shipment, and then a certain lord, aware of the conspiracy, takes a marked interest in Mathilda. As the daughter of a baron, the match is deemed tolerable, but hardly a brilliant one for his lordship.

However, the courtship becomes neither here nor there when Mathilda learns that the shipment is a family.
