Publisher Description
Determined never to give a man power over her life Georgiana swears never to marry. But her mother has other plans and forces Georgiana to accept a marriage proposal. In exchange her mother will keep the dark secret Georgiana fears, if exposed, will destroy forever the lives of those she holds most dear.
Georgiana journeys to the stately manor of Ravenstone determined to fulfill her end of the bargain. Ravenstone is her new husband’s country estate, where he installs his new wife before returning to London to spend her money gambling. Determined to restore Ravenstone, and challenged by her new husband’s mounting debts, Georgiana finds an unexpected new revenue source when she discovers a smuggling ring on the estate. Suddenly she is catapulted into the intrigues of smugglers and spies that may threaten her life and shatter her heart. For here, Nicholas Markham, a young and equally determined man, shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Georgiana is torn between responsibility and desire...and between two vastly different and irreconcilable lives.

Awesome
This is one of the best books I have read this year. I love how it explored gender inequality, politics, love, trauma and life. It’s fast paced and very well written.
Wow! What a book.
This is easily the best book that I have read in a long time. Can’t wait to get the next book. It’s a wonderfully written book.
Brilliant!
Definitely a must read. Loved it!
