When Captain Jack Dryden receives a summons to an audience with the Prince Regent, he wonders what he’s done wrong.  And why would someone of the Prince Regent’s importance bother to reprimand a lowly captain of dragoons, second son of a Sussex farmer?  Jack is good at intelligence work for the Army, damn good, but he is an outsider in London society.

 The Prince knows all that.  Jack comes recommended as the best investigator around, and that’s what Prinny needs, because someone is trying to kill him.  And what Jack needs, and the Prince provides, is a guide, someone who knows everyone in society and has entrée everywhere.

 Enter Lady Daphne Chalmers, eldest daughter of an earl, a spinster with no interest in fashion, but loved and respected throughout the ton.  The perfect partner, it seems to Jack, until she saddles him with a cover story he can hardly hope to live up to.  A diamond mine in South Africa?  Fluent in Hottentot?  Keeping up with the expanding web of lies can only mean trouble ahead, almost as much trouble as falling in love with Daphne will cause.

 Daphne is eager to help “Captain Sublime,” as she secretly thinks of him, protect the Prince Regent.  Surely this handsome, dashing man will never take a romantic look at someone like her.  And when he does, she knows she must turn him away before her father tumbles to the truth.

 With their differences in social standing and their wildly divergent attitudes toward the goings on of the ton, how can Daphne and Jack hope to be Happy Ever After?  That is, if they survive the machinations of the assassin closing in on Prinny.

 With His Lady’s Assistance, now available for Kindle and Nook, is a delightful blend of humor, romance, and mystery, a romp through Regency society, sprinkled with appealing characters and colorful figures from British history.  Protecting the eccentric Prince Regent from an unknown assassin has never been so entertaining.
