Claire Banning fulfilled every debutante's dream when she married a
rich nobleman. Soon, however, the celebrated beauty realizes she
wed a dissolute wastrel. Bitterly hurt and desperately lonely,
Claire vows nonetheless to take her expected place in society. Then
on a journey home to her husband's estate on the coast of Sussex,
she is abducted, and her life -- and her heart -- are changed
forever.
Hugh Battancourt -- a dark and dangerous nobleman who long ago
turned his back on the ton and now leads a life secretly dedicated
to his country's service -- is determined not to be swayed by his
prisoner's beauty as they share a cabin on a ship bound for France.
Lives depend on his retrieving from her a letter full of secrets
she intends to turn over to the enemy. But even as Claire and Hugh
engage in a battle of wits and wills, captor and captive find
themselves drawn irresistibly to each other. Is it possible, Claire
wonders, that she could discover the true meaning of love that has
eluded her with this handsome stranger? One who will lay his life
on the line in order to protect her from someone who is intent on
placing Claire in the path of danger?
With this sensual and entrancing tale, bestselling author Karen
Robards continues her wonderful trilogy of three sisters taking
their rightful place as the belles of Regency England's "ton."
