So when battle-scarred and world-weary Captain Gavin Briggs arrives at her cottage bearing shocking news -- that she is the granddaughter of an aged, bad-tempered duke -- Christina is stunned. . . temporarily.

She will not meet the duke who abandoned her when she was a child; Gavin will not receive his significant -- and much needed -- reward. However, should the good Captain agree to help her locate and rescue her endangered sibling, then perhaps. . .

But with a fortune at stake, the road to London is paved with peril. Treachery awaits them. . . not to mention attraction, temptation, and a most unanticipated passion.

To regain his soul, to protect his lady, Gavin must be more than brave. To win his love, Christina must be positively. . . brazen.
