LOVE'S DANGEROUS DISGUISE
Bryony Shaw's world lay in shattered ruins, her beloved brother mysteriously killed, her ancestral home burned to the ground. Yet the strong-willed beauty refused to despair. Vowing revenge, she set out on a reckless mission to uncover the truth...only to meet Jack Newcomer, a dashing hothead who offered protection and help on her hazardous quest. Cleverly elusive, they journeyed across an England seething with dynastic intrigue and mortal danger. Yet, even as Bryony 's love took fire, sharp slivers of doubt pierced her very soul, for she realized that Jack was not what he seemed...and that in his heart was concealed a secret -- one which might destroy her... or fulfill her grandest dreams.
