From "a masterful storyteller," a lady makes a brazen request for help from the military man hired to return to her family in this Regency romance ( New York Times- bestselling author Lorraine Heath).
She will give him what he desires. But first, a small favor . . .
Lady Christina Fairhaven is devoted to her adoptive family—and most protective of her wayward brother.
So when battle-scarred and world-weary Captain Gavin Briggs arrives at her cottage bearing shocking news—that she is the granddaughter of an aged, bad-tempered duke—Christina is stunned . . . temporarily.
She will not meet the duke who abandoned her when she was a child; Gavin will not receive his significant—and much needed—reward. However, should the good Captain agree to help her locate and rescue her endangered sibling, then perhaps . . .
But with a fortune at stake,the road to London is paved with peril. Treachery awaits them . . . not to mention attraction, temptation,and a most unanticipated passion.
To regain his soul, to protect his lady, Gavin must be more than brave. To win his love, Christina must be positively brazen. . . .
