This is one of the best historical romances that I have read in the last few years. The author has a wonderful feel for the Regency period without going into excessive historical detail. Her story of a brave woman and her trials and tribulations had me enthralled from the beginning....so if you are a fan of historical romance or suspenseful mystery, this novel is just the thing for you.

A wonderful combination of mystery, suspense and romance. The hero is terrifically strong yet vulnerable, and the heroine is repressed yet intelligent, working to overcome the horrors of an abusive former relationship.
