Love Insurance
by Earl Derr Biggers
Owen Jeffson, who works for the U.S. branch of Lloyds' insurers, is used to doing unusual things — weight loss in actors, disturbing rain at garden parties, twins in the family — but is confused when Lord Harrowby asks him to take out insurance against his fiancée, who threw him on the altar. To never give up on an interesting offer, Jeffson accepts, but sends Dick Minot to Florida to make sure Lloyds' assets are protected and Cynthia Meyrick does it in the hallway. Unfortunately, Minot falls in love with Cynthia immediately after accidentally meeting her on the train, and must she decide where their loyalty lies – especially since it turns out that Lord Harrowby may not be everything she seems, should she sabotage or support the wedding? This lightweight, sophisticated rom-com is guaranteed to captivate readers.
