The Rake and the Recluse

Francine Larrabee is in a car accident and suddenly she's a woman with no name and no home in Northern England, near the Scottish border, in the year of Our Lord... 1880.
 
Francine is catapulted into a world that threatens her life, and is kept by a man who may destroy her sanity. Isolated from the world she grew up in, without so much as a glimmer of the world she knows she must survive amid the sudden danger, violence, and passion. 

Francine learns her only chance of safety lies in Gideon Trumbull, a lionhearted—but evasive—duke. What begins as a compulsion to learn anything about him becomes an urgent need to posses, and Francine finds herself in an inescapable new reality, a world in which she doesn't belong.

Meanwhile... Gideon's brother Perry has likewise been caught up in an incident, finding a runaway housemaid in his carriage as he's bound for London. His brother is going to kill him if something happens to one of his staff. That something being his rakish brother Perry, of course. 

But his stowaway, Lilly, has another idea. She plans on seducing a rake who refuses to touch her. It seems like just the right challenge to sooth her damaged soul.
