Minuet

Minou (christened Lady Céleste by her British father) escaped the Terror in France to reach safety and send assistance for her mother and brother, who were in danger of facing the guillotine. Frustrated by the lack of progress, she determined to return to France with her cousin Henri—but they are followed by the upright Lord Degan, who quickly learned he possessed none of their panache. Georgian Romance by Joan Smith, writing as Jennie Gallant; originally published by Fawcett Coventry
