A chance meeting in Hyde Park drags Skye into a web of intrigue. Can she uncover desperate Julian's true identity before his enemies close in...?
London, Spring 1820
Skye Kerr, the youngest of her sisters and a 'horse goddess', rescues a man in Hyde Park when he has a riding accident. Everyone is convinced he's a drunken lout, but Skye is sure there's more to him than meets the eye.
Her family tease for helping yet another stray in London, but the man calling himself Julian is far more fascinating than a rescue kitten. He's clearly been injured in the war, and has no recollection of who he was before he ended up amongst the wounded on the Continent.
Skye is determined to help him with his medical issues, and discover his true identity. But perhaps the ardent rescuer should have paid more attention to the old adage, "Curiosity killed the cat," for the more answers they get, the more danger they're in.
And the closer they grow to each other, for the two fall more in love with every passing minute. Julian wants to do the noble thing and give up Skye in order to keep her safe, but she's no shrinking violet. Skye is determined to turn the tables on their enemies so they can win their happily ever after, or die in the attempt….
