Will the greatest danger be to their hearts-or to their lives?.
From the wilds of rural Somersetshire to the glittering ballrooms of early-Victorian London, Charles and Kate embark on a cross-country quest to solve a decades\' old mystery.
After all, faint heart never won handsome gentleman.
But Kate refuses to be deterred by the raven-haired soldier\'s strong, silent facade.
That is, until she encounters the infuriatingly somber Lieutenant Heywood.
As skilled with pistols as she is on horseback, she\'s never met an obstacle she can\'t surmount-or a man she can\'t win.
At only twenty, Lady Katherine Beresford has already earned a scandalous reputation.
If he\'s going to unravel them, he\'ll need the assistance of someone as daring as he is.
The place is mired in secrets, some of which may prove deadly.
But arranging to purchase the property he desires is more difficult than Charles ever imagined.
Battle-weary and disillusioned, he returns to England, resolved to settle down to a quiet, uneventful life on an estate of his own.
Lieutenant Charles Heywood has had his fill of adventure.
