| Publisher Description: In 1808, Captain Daniel Trent returns to London from Napoleon's War. At one of the first balls he attends he spots the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was quite taken with her. He requested a friend introduce him to her. He was shocked to learn she is a sister of the Duke of Westhaven. Daniel is only the second son of the Earl of Greystone with no hope of a title. His elder brother holds the title. Yet, he cannot help pursuing her. Lady Philippa Sinclair can't seem to take her eyes off of Daniel Trent whenever he is in a room. She doesn't care about rank or wealth. She is more concern with the manner of a man and she believes Daniel Trent is an honorable man. She has fallen in love and gladly accepts his proposal of marriage. Pippa is finally going to be happy if her past doesn't intrude. She holds so many secrets and has told so many lies. Two weeks after her after acceptance of his marriage proposal he asks Philippa to break their betrothal. He then left for the war where he spends the next three years on the continent as a liaison between the English and the French underground. His contact is a mysterious boy who goes by the name of Jean-Philippe. The boy seems to be a ghost as he gathers vital information for England. Napoleon places a high reward on the head. The boy has become a thorn in the Emperor's side and sends his spymaster, Henri Fochette after him. The trail leads to England. Who is Jean-Philippe? Is he what he seems? When his brother and nephew dies Daniel returns to England as the new Earl of Greystone-a title he never expected to inherit. With at title comes the responsibility to marry and produce an heir. Lady Philippa (Pippa) Sinclair has secrets, but when she met Daniel Trent she knows she has met the man of her dream and gladly accepts his proposal of marriage. Her old life intrudes and costs her the man she loves. If only she could explain, but it isn't her secret to tell. Lives depend on her silence. On Daniel's return, he finds he is still a betrothed man. Pippa still refuses to explain and refuses to break their engagement. Daniel is still angry at Pippa for what he perceives as betrayal, but his honor demands he wed her. Secrets, lies, and supposed betrayal tore them apart; can danger bring them together? Can Daniel and Pippa survive the imminent danger that surrounds? Can their love survive the test of Secrets and lies? |
