A long-lost love, a dangerous secret, and a race against time - Lieutenant Owen North and Amelia Greymust solve a deadly mystery while confronting the love they never forgot.
Amelia had always known that she would end up running her father’s farm, but she never expected to do it alone. After her mother’s death and the dissolution of her engagement to handsome and wealthy Lord Ashwood she found herself struggling to make ends meet. And then there was Ethan, her sweet and fragile little boy, who needed constant care and attention. When Owen North, the man she had loved and lost, suddenly reappeared in her life, Amelia didn’t know what to feel. Why did he have to come back now, when everything was already so complicated? For Lieutenant North, the two months of leave he had been granted feel like a prison sentence. He’s never been one for idleness, preferring instead the constant motion and stimulation of military life. But he had earned this respite, and he is determined to make the most of it. When a letter arrives calling him back to Yorkshire, he hesitates for only a moment before packing his bags and heading north. He has no idea what he would find there, but when he discovers a conspiracy swirling around the woman he left behind, he knows there is only one way to protect her-win her heart all over again. Will North be able to unravel the conspiracy before it’s too late? Can he and Amelia overcome their past and find a way to be together? Find out in this thrilling tale of love, adventure, and espionage set against the backdrop of Georgian England.
