Sir Daniel Drummond is escaping the battlefield at which the
Cavaliers have been thoroughly routed when he finds a
wounded boy. Only it isn't a boy, it is a young woman
dressed as a male. Knowing her fate if he leaves her behind,
he takes her along as he works his way toward home. They
find shelter in small cottage where he finds the aid his
needs to help her recover from her wound.
Henrietta "Harry" Ashby has always been a free spirit.
Disliked by her father and stepmother, she rebelled so much
that they let her roam free. At the age of 15, she follows
the man she is certain she loves to battle. Sir Daniel
intimidates her somewhat but she refuses to give her name to
him; knowing what her father would do to her.
Will finds them just before the Roundheads do and they make
their way to London where Daniel must report to the
Parliament. Daniel sent word to Sir Gerald of Harry's
location. He returns to his lodgings to find Sir Gerald has
knocked Will out and beating Harry.
Now, he finds himself betrothed and very quickly married to
the minx; taking on an additional debt that he can ill
afford. When King James is beheaded, Daniel and Harry go to
The Hague to support the new King.
As Harry and Daniel sort out their marriage the events of a
deadly Civil War are waged. Harry will test every limit that
Daniel sets and Daniel will find himself rescuing his wife
from the schemes that she gets involved in.
Set against a deadly backdrop of war and intrigue, Harry and
Daniel will learn to live with each other and love each
other. The re-issue of RECKLESS ANGEL reminds me why I so
loved Jane Feather's writing. Even though I read it when it
was first issued, the story and characters still drew me in.
