Full Synopsis
Mistress of rebellion . . .

Lucy d'Autrecourt Blackheath is liberty's darling, embracing the fierce independence of her adopted father, the patriot raider, Pendragon. When a parcel arrives from England, unearthing a long-buried secret nothing can stop Lucy from pursuing the adventure she craves. Yet, as Lucy sails from Virginia, danger from her past threatening everyone she loves.

An imperious earl . . .

Dominic St. Cyr, the fierce earl of Valcour, drove back the scandal attached to the St. Cyr name at the point of his sword and snatched Valcour's estates from the brink of ruin. When a reckless American spitfire barrels into his duel in the middle of a gaming hell, he finds everything he's worked for in peril. Ruthless Valcour has little choice but to force hoyden Lucy to wed him—even though the defiant American despises him and his aristocratic world.

To set a heart free . . .

But as Lucy steps into Valcour's mysterious world, she glimpses the man beneath the earl's façade. Haunted by personal demons, Valcour hides a heart too tender, and secrets as painful as Lucy's own. Can a patriot's daughter enter the world revolution taught her to hate, and set Valcour's heart free?
