Publisher's summary

Abducted, held captive by unknown men for unknown reasons, Mary Mason had to use all of her resourcefulness to escape what would surely have been a terrible fate. But in the course of her escape, she encounters new dangers in the form of a mysterious man. Is he friend or foe? Can he be trusted, or will she prove to be just a pawn in whatever game he is playing?

Alexander Carnahan, Lord Wolverton, is a pariah in society, a known murderer. But as he carries the unconscious Mary Mason back to his crumbling estate to care for her, he recognizes that she is far more than just the key to the mystery he's devoted himself to, the mystery of who murdered his late wife. She stirs something inside him he thought long dead...hope.

As Mary recovers from her ordeal in his home, the truth slowly emerges. Their pasts are intermingled, the intrigues and mysteries of their lives are connected and hide unspeakable horrors committed by common enemies. As they work together to reunite Mary with her brother and to prove Alex's innocence, their feelings for one another only grow more complex and more undeniable.

However, the course of true love never does run smooth, and there are more obstacles and dangers ahead of them than behind....

Great!

I love the mystery and romance of this series. I didn’t start out reading them in order, so I am going to go back to the beginning, although this can be read as a standalone book.

Great wrap up to the series

This was a really good one. The story picked up where book 2 left off and it did not disappoint. Glad how things wrapped up. It was worth the listen

Exciting story!

This story was filled with lots of bad people doing horrible things to innocents a man of the room - who normally had an innocuous face for the general public was stealing women and children in order to sell them for his own profit it had been going on fort over 20 years... Two of the women he had stolen from their lives, independently escaped from the prison quarters in which they were kept, and told their families what had happened and where they had been kept. This was the beginning of the end for the captors. It was an exciting and horrible predicament they'd been put in. With the help of the victims themselves, these women finally did escape their confines. I enjoyed reading about this seedy side of society in London and also the way that some of the women were able to come to those holiday hotels and also the way that they were able to accept this quiet, lonely woman into the society.

Good Story

An exciting suspenseful read. The narrator has a nice read. I must comment on the pronunciation of some of the words however. I find this to be true of more than this particular narrator. We were taught differently apparently back in my day so I find it interesting and can’t help wondering at the difference in teaching practices in this day and age. Anyway I found the book entertaining and the narrator to be one of the best I have listened to.
