Harold Manners-Sutton was abducted and tossed onto an outbound naval ship headed into battle in 1812. Now, years later, Harry has returned, but he has one last thing to do before he can move on with his lifeâtake the treasured belongings of a dead friend to the manâs two sisters, and make sure they are safe and happy. Phoebe Grenard has just learned that her father sold her and her sister to pay his gambling debt when Harry and his friend walk into the shop that she and her cousin operate. She demands to see this contract her illiterate father supposedly signed, and Harry insists on taking her to London himself. Phoebe grows more attracted to him each day. Kissing him was a mistake, but one she couldnât stop herself from making each time he held her. Harry desires his friendâs sister more the longer theyâre together. The money-monger needs young women to work in his brothels and he preyed on men like Grenard to get those young girls. But the man doesnât count on Phoebe and Lydiaâs determination to remain free, nor Harryâs resolve to live up to his deceased friendâs last wishes to keep his sisters safe. And for Harry, keeping Phoebe safe means one thingâher marriage to him.
