"Harry Lidge must kidnap a notorious Duchess"

Romance Historical

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.

SUMMARY

His greatest battle is just beginning . . .

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
