When Kendra Donovan's plan to return to the 21st century fails,
leaving her stranded in 1815, the Duke of Aldridge believes he knows the
reason--she must save his nephew, who has been accused of brutally
murdering his ex-mistress.
Former FBI agent Kendra Donovan's attempts to return to the twenty-first
century have failed, leaving her stuck at Aldridge Castle in 1815. And
her problems have just begun: in London, the Duke of Aldridge's nephew
Alec--Kendra's confidante and lover--has come under suspicion for
murdering his former mistress, Lady Dover, who was found viciously
stabbed with a stiletto, her face carved up in a bizarre and brutal way.
Lady Dover had plenty of secrets, and her past wasn't quite what she'd
made it out to be. Nor is it entirely in the past--which becomes
frighteningly clear when a crime lord emerges from London's seamy
underbelly to threaten Alec. Joining forces with Bow Street Runner Sam
Kelly, Kendra must navigate the treacherous nineteenth century while she
picks through the strands of Lady Dover's life.
As the noose tightens around Alec's neck, Kendra will do anything to
save him, including following every twist and turn through London's
glittering ballrooms, where deception is the norm--and any attempt to
uncover the truth will get someone killed.
