Mr. Jeffries And The Jilt
by Joy Reed

Raymond Jeffries is convinced that his visit with his eccentric aunt in the small seaside village of Shelton-on- Sea will be boring, until he discovers that the notorious Caroline Sedgewick is also staying there. After jilting three men, Caroline has found refuge with her friend, Lady Katherine, hoping that in time her undeserved reputation as a shameless hussy will fade away. When Caroline's last fiance, the annoyingly handsome Robert Cullen, shows up determined to win her affections once again, Caroline is surprised to find Raymond offering his support in eluding Robert's attentions. More time spent in each other's company brings Caroline and Raymond closer together, but Caroline can't help but think that a woman with her kind of notoriety is no match for this very proper and discerning gentleman.
