Lord Barnaby Linscott works for the crown. His mission this time is to find and destroy an arms cache and catch the traitor involved. The suspect is very intelligent and dangerous. Barnaby's team have got a way in to the estate that he doesn't like.
Lady Millicent Chandler has her own reason for working with the government agent. She will sacrifice anything including her own life to make sure the villain pays for his crimes.
A very exciting story with lots of twists and turns . Danger and intrigue abound. Our very brave hero and heroine get lots of big surprises. The ending is totally different to what I expected.
A fascinating book that I couldn't put down.
Excerpt.
Millicent had
tossed and turned for hours, unable to go to sleep. How could she sleep when
Barnaby had disappeared? How could she sleep when she didn’t know if he was
safe, or lying dead somewhere in the dark?
She held her
breath again and listened. Not a sound except the constant settling of a house
several hundred years old. She listened again, then threw her covers back and
got to her feet.
She refused to
open the door and look down the hall. She would not give in to the impulse to
go to his room to check if he’d returned without knocking on her door. If he
had, she’d be sure to give him a piece of her mind in the morning.
Not that she
could have slept anyway. Not after the night she had, suffering Radburn’s

Radburn had paraded her through the ballroom, as if she were some priceless

Even her friends
and neighbors who’d come to celebrate her good fortune seemed to have changed

Oh, how she wanted to pull them aside and tell them that everything they

Her mother’s
beautiful face appeared before her, and, without bidding them, tears filled her
eyes and spilled down her cheeks. She thought of Polly’s energy and exuberance
for life. Knowing that her sister would never experience so many of life’s
choicest moments ripped Millicent’s heart from her breast.
And perhaps most
painful of all was the loss of her brother. She and Thomas had always been close.
No doubt because it had just been the two of them for so long before Polly was
born. Or maybe because he had always looked out for her—always been there when
she needed him.
She closed her
eyes and envisioned his handsome face. He never lacked for female admirers.
