Dutiful daughter Faith Baxendale just wants to please. Faith isn't as adventurous as her younger sister, Hope, gadding about the Continent with their aunt, nor as rebellious as her elder sister, Honor, who planned to become a card sharp. And Faith couldn't lose herself in her art like sixteen-year-old, Charity. Even Mercy, at fourteen, shows more backbone! After Faith's first Season ends, her father urges her to marry the man of his choice. But when Lord Vaughn Winborne, a neighbor Faith had a crush on while still in the schoolroom, arrives home for the Brandreth's hunt ball, surprising even to herself, Faith is drawn again towards a man her father would never consider. The youngest Brandreth male, Vaughn, is the black sheep of the family. His elder brother, Chaloner, Marquess of Brandreth, still looks upon him as a reckless youth, and Vaughn is determined to prove him wrong. A chance comes in the form of a scandal not of Vaughn's making, and he must learn to trust Faith, who, when all's said and done, has always known her own mind. Views: 44

Through her family's love and Boone's gentle affection, Portia gradually comes

one thing threatens her fragile hope for recovery: The man who took her
promised that if she ever escaped, he'd kill her. Slowly. And someone is
definitely watching her...waiting to make his next deadly move.
