In 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley\'s father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England.
But the same forces that draw her and Everard together also threaten to tear them apart..
In this whirlwind of intrigue, ambitions, and shifting alliances, Blythe yearns for someone she can trust.
It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible.
He has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction.
No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with her maid in tow.
But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known.
Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Blythe quietly awaits the crowning of a new king.
