Chloe Field's father gambled away his fortune and planned to marry her off to pay the debts. Instead, Chloe left and found employment with her childhood friend, William Seabrook. William hired her to be a companion to his hateful sister, Laura. Chloe needed to save enough money to allow her to purchase a modest cottage for herself, so she stuck it out no matter what Laura did.

When news of her father's death arrived, Chloe could not help but feel guilty, especially since foul play was suspected. If she had let her father marry her off (basically SELL her) he might still be alive. She had hoped to someday reconcile with him. Laura continued to be someone I, as the Reader, loved to hate. Enter the hero of the story!

Captain Andrew Seabrook had known Chloe since childhood. Eleven years before, he had almost seduced her! This was something he had never forgiven himself for. He had been sent home to recover from a leg wound received at Waterloo. Quietly, he was also to investigate the murder of Chloe's father. He did not know Chloe had been in love with him all these years, but felt the passion from eleven years ago return in full force!-Amazon Review

Allison Lane once again delight with this engrossing regency.
