by Rose Pascoe (Author)
France, 1830. A young woman is facing a difficult decision about her future, when the turmoil of the July Revolution overturns her tranquil world.
Her family is called upon to protect a precious heirloom for an aunt who has been forced into exile, throwing them into the path of a powerful enemy. To save her family, and fulfil a promise to her mother, she must flee her secluded life and embark on a perilous journey to England.
Outwitting her adversaries will take all of her courage and ingenuity, with the help of a charming Englishman she meets along the way. But will it be enough, against a man who won't give up until the prize is his?
Read as a stand-alone novella or as the first book in the French Legacy trilogy (also available as a box set).
