An exciting Regency romance set during the Napoleonic wars, from bestselling author Charlotte Lamb

When a French prisoner of war escapes from a convoy, a Kent village is thrown into alarm. But local beauty Rachel Duncan has more pressing matters on her mind.

James FitzCharles has returned from London. Three years earlier, she refused to marry him because of his rakish reputation. But far from mending his ways, he's spent the intervening period in the big city justifying that reputation.

Now James is back in Kent, and there's no knowing what he wants. Or rather there is, but Rachel refuses to give in to his seduction.

She warns her two young nieces against the notorious rake next door. But who will warn her against the weakness of her own heart? She may have rejected James, but it hurt to do so.

As shadows darken over the peaceful little village, Rachel struggles to end the war between her head and her heart. Meanwhile, the desperate French prisoner of war is hunting for a local man who may help him. A man who moonlights as a spy for the French ... But who is he?
