More about the book
England, 1815. "You can choose to come to my place or manage on your own. It's up to you!" When this man she barely knows offers her hospitality, Georgie is taken aback. She has just attempted to rob him, starving after days of wandering the streets of London. But far from being angry, he seems to pity her and offers her shelter, even as she refuses to speak. How can she confess that she has run away from her uncle, who wanted to force her into marriage with a shady creditor? Wouldn't this stranger be tempted to return her home to take advantage of the situation? Yet something about his military demeanor and protective manner encourages her to trust him. After all, she simply needs to stay hidden until her birthday, the day she will inherit her fortune. And until then, without a roof over her head and with an uncle on her trail, does she have any choice but to accept?
