A mystery brings them together. Secrets keep them apart.
Major William Maitland returns a hero from the war, only to find himself tasked with the strangest mission - hunting down the lost heir to his uncle's fortune. He sets out for rural Warwickshire to uncover the twenty-year-old secret, but has no idea that meeting an old army friend will lead him to the key to the mystery. Or that his friend's cousin, the beautiful Georgianne Venables, will prove to be his own personal Waterloo.
For Georgianne has a secret of her own that could stand in the way of Will ever winning her hand in marriage...
Caught in a compromising situation!
When Miss Helena Wheatley's wealthy father decides she should marry nobility, only her ingenuity keeps her from being trapped into an unwelcome marriage! But with her father suddenly falling ill, she is forced to turn to one of her prospective suitors and beg for his help.
Richard Standish, the Earl of Markfield, honourably agrees to aid Helena. He'll squire her around Town until her father recovers. Only when they are caught alone together, their temporary agreement suddenly looks set to become a lot more permanent...

Jessica's exquisite loveliness is matched by her kind heart, and Ben is soon torn between duty and desire.
So when she unlocks a secret that embroils them both in mystery and danger, Ben must secure both his family's future–and Jessica as his bride!
