Pegasus by Eleanor Anne Cox

I had a very hard time putting this book down. Once I started reading it I was enthralled. I'm not sure why I liked it so much. It started out humorous with some witty comments such as this... "and although he was very tall he was also rather large, thus robbing his six-foot-three frame of the aesthetic graces of a starving hero." And from there it went on to mystery, good characters, and a nice story.

The back cover blurb was again nothing like the book. While she did write books it was not a big part of the story though it did come in to play at the end. I wouldn't say that she was sneaking through the woods but she did help uncover the unpleasant circumstances going around. Mostly because she was a nice person that people trusted and helped the abused from an awful person. You really end up liking her 'can do anything' personality.

By day, Margaret Gorham was a governess-by night she was Madame Fleur De La Coeur!

To all appearances, she seemed to be a drab little nobody in brown serge. But she has secretly penned popular romances based on the characters of her current employers.

And when Margaret, posing as a stiff, starched schoolteacher, found herself in the ancestral home of Sir Hillary Pendragon (London's most dashing, wealthy, eligible bachelor), she found plenty of material for her next romance! Sneaking through the woods of the family estate, she uncovered some frightening things and a side of Sir Hillary that threw her usually calm, steadfast heart into a singed flight of fancy...from which it threatened to never return!
