Publisher Description
A Scoundrel, A Spy, and A Secret. Will She Ever Learn the Truth?
Desperate to avoid a second loveless marriage, Anne Howell hides out in a cave on the Welsh coast. If she can get to England, she should be safe from her stepfather's long-reaching hand. She thinks her prayers are answered when she rescues a shipwrecked sailor, Thomas Armstrong, who agrees to help her, claiming he has ties to Queen Elizabeth I. Though she fears he may be an accomplished liar, she has no choice but to trust him, especially when a secret from her past puts spies on her trail and threatens to destroy her future.
Years ago, Thomas Armstrong learned his real mother was executed in place of a dethroned queen. Determined to avenge her death, he sets out to find the cowardly monarch. But when his ship goes down in a storm leaving him broke and in debt, he fears his quest is finished – until he discovers that the woman who rescued him, Anne Howell, has a price on her head. All he has to do is turn her in and he'll have the money he needs. But in helping Anne, he's begun to lose his heart, and now he faces a devastating choice – avenge the past for his mother or follow his feelings to an uncertain future with Anne.

I couldn’t stop reading
I love this Olivia Rae series. She hooked me from the first page. Inspirational, compelling characters, and vivid storytelling kept me turning the pages.
Fabulous series!
What a wonderful conclusion to this series! Starting with a mesmerizing scoundrel, one who you certainly do not expect to reform. One might imagine a storm at sea would change a person - but you really will have to read to find out if it did. Secrets seem to be a part of his world, but will the truth ever be known? Is it possible for a heart of stone to become a heart of flesh?
Anne is a young widow, well treated as a young child, but thereafter had a life that was best left behind. What kind of secrets are hidden in her life? Fate throws them together - two orphans with very different goals in their lives. Follow along as they travel from Wales to Scotland to England, where even more secrets could be revealed.
