HONOUR’S CHOICE
1809 England. To protect his foster brother, Baron de la Croix, young Hadleigh Tarrant joins him in the hunt for government bullion thieves. Captured and tortured by their leader Donatien, Hadleigh is left to die.
Sarah, Lady Edgerton, a frumpy middle-aged widow, nurses the critically injured Hadleigh when he is found near her home despite the danger to her reputation.
Their hearts choose each other, but Hadleigh is haunted by the tragedy of his parent’s marriage and fears that love will cause him pain worse than that of any torture. Sarah, trapped by the years between them and a secret that would turn him from her forever, tries to hide her love and do what is best for Hadleigh by giving him up.
Donatien, malicious French spy appears determined on purloining military secrets. He is also intent upon a revenge that threatens Sarah and Hadleigh’s growing love and their very lives. Hadleigh must discover the spy’s identity before he and Sarah can decide between dishonour and HONOUR'S CHOICE.
