Regency 1818. Taking a short cut to gain the London road, the new Earl of Merton found himself - a gazetted rakel - playing the knight errant, rescuing a lady from kidnap. She refused to give her name, but Martin knew his fair Juno was a lady. Thus, on his launch back into society, he was bound to meet her again - he could bide his time. (Back cover, 1999)
Miss Kate Farleigh was virtually kidnapped by Lady Cahill, after refusing that lady's 'charity'. But she saw her purpose when included in a visit to Jack Carstairs, Lady Cahill's grandson. Wounded in the Peninsular War, he'd returned home to find his fiancee had ended their engagement. He'd retreated to his country estate, but Kate had no patience with Jack's forcefully uttered requests to be left alone! (From back cover, 1999)
