A Venetian Escapade

The Continental Capers of Melody Chesterson Book 1

Melody is determined to do more with her life than marry well; she wants exciting escapades with perhaps some romance sprinkled in along the way. Chaperoned by her older brother, Rat, who secretly works for Britain’s newly formed Secret Service Bureau, Melody sets off for the first stop on her Grand Tour of Europe, Venice.

Unbeknownst to Melody, Rat is on his first solo mission and is plagued by self-doubt. His sister’s continual interference and insistence on socializing with the too-charming and very suspicious Conte Foscari just adds to Rat’s worries.

Charmed by Venice, Melody is sure that Italy is where she will fall in love and have the adventure of a lifetime – if only her annoying older brother would stop trying to boss her around.
