Selena Hewitt and John Markley, the Duke of Canby, have
been the best of friends since they were children. On
Canby's 20th birthday, he asks Selena to become his
mistress, but she refuses because a marriage has already
been arranged for her. Then Canby disappears. Six years
later, Selena is arrested for his murder. This leads him
back to England to save his one and only true love, but he
won't reveal where he's been and why.
This is an intriguing and tender tale of love, passion and
mystery. You're drawn into a deceitful web of a
dysfunctional family and a circle of so-called friends, who
will do anything, including false accusations and murder,
for the purpose of financial and social gain. Will Canby
and Selena's love for one another survive the wrath? A very
good read.
The Duke of Canby is a spy, working as a falconer in
France, privy to the secrets of the nobility. But when he
learns that his only love, Selena, is imprisoned for his
own, faked murder, Canby must return to England to save
her. His sudden reemergence into society will come at a
price to his freedom--and the ultimate cost to him may be
Selena herself.
