Publisher's Summary

RITA finalist for Best Historical Romance

USA Today best seller

A marriage of convenience...

Gaunt and wearing an eye patch, Major Ian Cameron returns to India after being freed from horrendous captivity in Central Asia. Thoughts of his beautiful fiancée helped him survive his imprisonment, but much can happen when a man has supposedly been dead for two years, and his return brings him face to face with how much he has lost.

An unexpected inheritance gives him the opportunity to return home to Scotland and begin a new life. First, though, he must fulfill the dying wish of the Russian officer who had shared his captivity by delivering the colonel’s journal to his niece, Larissa Alexandrovna Karelian.

The daughter of tempestuous Russian aristocrats, Laura Stephenson loved her quiet English stepfather and was happy to follow him to India as companion and hostess. His death leaves her adrift - until a handsome, haunted Scot appears to deliver her uncle’s journal.

Startled to find a grown woman rather than a little girl, Ian quickly realizes that Laura is uniquely qualified to be his wife in an unconventional marriage. She accepts his offer and together, they begin the long journey home to Britain, with a side trip to the mountains to retrieve the belongings her uncle left with a friendly maharajah. In the process, they are swept into an adventure that threatens the future of India and brings them together with a love and passion that is more than either of them had dared dream of....

Interesting and enjoyable

Meticulous writing in a well-paced adventure story. I’ve enjoyed every one of the books in this series. The narration was also excellent. Highly recommended.
