And until Henry has discovered the identity of the mysterious enemy who wishes him dead, he cannot risk exposing Kitty to danger.

Kitty is ecstatic to learn that the man she loves has survived. She longs for the romance with Henry she has always dreamt of – but will he still be interested in her after his experiences abroad? Besides, her father has made it clear he expects her to restore the family fortunes by marrying the odious Lord Steyne.

As friendship blossoms into love, Henry’s enemy emerges from the shadows with a wicked plan to separate the pair for ever..
