The Captain's Secret

Secrets of the Heart

Dashing, gallant Captain Winston Jeffries has no taste for the ton. He'd much prefer a military post in India to the pleasures of Almack's. But his latest mission of seeking out traitors to the Crown involves feigning to court an Incomparable of the haute monde. Never does he expect his subterfuge to bring back into his life the one beauty he's ever loved.

Susannah Lacey was a mere girl when Winston Jeffries headed off to the war in France. For years, she has thought him dead. Yet there he is, in a Drury Lane theater, and from his hasty departure, he clearly has some reason to avoid her...but she cannot imagine what. Not a woman to be trifled with, Susannah sets out to uncover the captain's secret-and win his heart for good.
