Publisher's Synopsis
He's a noble smuggler. She's drowning in grief. Can they survive a treacherous Tudor conspiracy?
England, 1487. Ludovic Sumerford knows he'll never see a penny from his father's wealthy estate. His three older brothers will make sure of that. Fortunately for him, his secret smuggling venture brings in more than a few sovereigns. But when his arrogance leads him to tell a local woman about the sudden death of her brother, money is the least of his worries.
When one of his brothers incriminates him in a treasonous plot, he must rely on the kindness of a mourning woman to save his life. Easier said than done since he's partly to blame for her tears.
Alysson has nothing left. Destitute after the demise of her parents, now she faces the loss of her brother too. When fate draws her together with Ludovic, the pain of her past makes trusting his promises seem impossible. It doesn't help matters that the man seems to have a boatload of secrets that could turn her life upside down. Half of them he is not aware of himself.
Will Alysson survive the trials she faced with? And when the gallows await, can the smuggler escape captivity and reunite with Alysson before it's too late? ?
