Love Insurance - Earl Derr Biggers

A zany, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy of improbable proportions, from the creator of Charlie Chan

Working for an American branch of Lloyds' insurers, Owen Jephson is used to underwriting unusual things--weight loss in actors, inconvenient rain at garden parties, twins in the family--nonetheless he is taken aback when Lord Harrowby asks him to insure against his fiancee jilting him at the altar. Never one to turn down an interesting offer, Jephson agrees, but swiftly dispatches Dick Minot to Florida to make sure that Lloyds' assets are protected and that Cynthia Meyrick makes it down the aisle. Unfortunately Minot promptly falls in love with Cynthia after accidentally meeting her on a train, and has to decide where his loyalties lie--should he sabotage or support the wedding, especially as it comes to light Lord Harrowby may not be all that he seems? This light, sophisticated romcom is guaranteed to charm readers.
