The Brighton Imbroglio — Rosanne E. Lortz

He's supposed to be saving his brother from a lady most unsuitable, but can he avoid falling head over boots himself?

Ginny Trafford has always been content to let her older sister take centre stage while she applauds from the wings. But when her family travels to the seaside and her older sister stays behind in London, Ginny discovers that being the unofficial belle of Brighton is more delightful than expected. The only trouble now is that there are too many officers vying for her attention, and making up her mind has never been Ginny's strong suit.

Captain Cassius Comfort has been instructed by his mother to go to Brighton, find his younger brother Felix, and stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life. But when Cassius attempts to separate Felix from the unsuitable Miss Trafford, he discovers that the infatuated lieutenant is too stubborn to listen to reason. Now Cassius is forced to flirt with the girl himself to prove that she is as fickle as she is agreeable. The only trouble now is that he's in danger of succumbing to the same lovelorn lunacy that brought him to Brighton in the first place.

An homage to the beloved Georgette Heyer, this clean and wholesome Regency romance follows the adventures of a competent captain, a sweet-hearted heroine, a lovesick lieutenant, a jealous jilted lady, and a secret band of smugglers.
