Lady Kate Seaton is a dowager duchess at a young age. Her
wit and daring are the admiration of many of the ton but few
know her well. Even fewer know her secrets or would guess
that she had many. When she is implicated in treason,
Marjor Sir Harry Lidge
will make her interrogation his last official duty.
Nothing
about Lady Kate is what he expects. His expectations are
low anyway because he has known her since she was a child.
At one point in time, he and Kate were in love. When her
father, a man Harry greatly admired, tells him that
Kate has betrayed her family, Harry goes off to war. Kate
is married off to a man old enough to be her father. When
her husband dies, Kate sets out to scandalize the town and
enjoy life. She keeps the Duke's sister, Lady Beatrice, as a
companion.
Lady Bea suffered a head injury and can't talk in a fashion
that others understand. Others are puzzled by the care and
attention that Lady Kate lavishes on Bea.
Harry kidnaps Kate and takes her to a remote estate where he
vows to learn what she knows. What he learns isn't what he
expects. Harry and Kate will have to overcome the past
before they can look to the future. Together they will
expose the true traitor and overcome years of distrust.
This is the best of the three books in this series so far.
As the reader follows the trials that Harry and Kate face,
they will be caught up in the horrors of the lives of the
hero and heroine. They will be saddened by the tragedies of
the past and gladdened as the two work to overcome the lies.
There is much to celebrate as they work out their
differences and learn to open their hearts. Be prepared to
laugh and cry, to despair and to rejoice as secrets are
exposed and love triumphs.
Captain Harry Lidge has done his duty. After losing too
many good men on the battlefield, he's ready to put his
responsibilities behind him and live a life free of care.
But first he has one last mission: find out what the most
outrageous woman in London, the same woman who betrayed him
nearly a decade earlier, is concealing, before her secrets
take down the crown.
Her heart is the only thing she won't risk . . .
Surrounded by ardent admirers and a few loyal friends, Lady
Kate Seaton glides through the ton on a confection of
couture gowns and bon mots. No one suspects that beneath
her lighthearted façade Kate hides a sorrow so scandalous
she'll do anything to keep it hidden. But only when she
trusts Harry with the truth and only when he trusts her
with his heart can they stop the villains all too willing
to kill Kate to attain their ultimate goal: destroy England
