Publisher's Synopsis
Regency England was a time of corrupt government and common folk revivals. It was the time of the Napoleonic wars; time of expansion in India. It was a time of upheaval and change. The aristocracy favored arranged marriages, often without regard to the elusive emotion called love. An engagement was almost as binding as the marriage itself. But, when Leister rescues a young woman from a fire, he discovers love is much more than merely an illusion of the weak minded. Will the Earl and Kit's love and faith prove stronger than his fiancee's lies, family disapproval, scandal, jealousy, and separation? When his former fiancee kidnaps Kit, will he be able to plan a daring rescue before he loses her, this time--forever?
