Lady Sarah Whitfield becomes the newest member of English nobility when her husband, Lord James Whitfield, inherits the family estate and title. It would seem her life is one of comfort and ease, but things are not always how they appear. 
After a five-year post in the navy, James has returned from war a very different man: cold, stoic, and tortured by an unresolved past. How can he carry on with a life of wedded bliss when his oldest friend in the world is starving in a French prison? 
Heartbroken by the changes in her husband, who seems to have lost both his love for life and for her, Sarah leaves for London. James, haunted by the war and the loss of his wife, cannot make sense of his pain and regret. He knows one thing, however: he cannot let the woman he loves slip through his fingers. But when he receives news of his friend, he is forced to decide whether he can face the horrors of his past to save his friend and reclaim a future with Sarah or whether he must sacrifice one for the other.

Miss Harriet Lockhart has been anticipating her debut into London Society since she was a little girl. When her father’s new position with the admiralty sees their return to England after a longtime post in India, Harriet finally has a chance to find a suitable―and suitably rich―husband. Mr. Foote seems the ideal candidate: well-mannered, well-groomed, and wealthy. But her plans go awry when she is whisked onto the dance floor by none other than handsome naval captain Patrick Sloane, a man she has known and despised for years. Thanks to Patrick’s interference, Mr. Foote departs without explanation―or proposal. 
Despite her disappointment at finishing the Season without a husband, Harriet soon finds herself in frequent company with the very man who foiled her plans. But Patrick proves something of a surprise, as does her growing attachment to him. She knows that unless she resists her feelings, she will end up just like her mother: a lonely and heartbroken naval wife. But when the truth of the past is revealed, Harriet must find the courage to trust her heart or risk losing the promise of true love forever.

The authorities are determined to make an example of Hobb - but why? Can Cairn prove his innocence? After receiving a blackmail threat, Cairn hires Mortimer Blakely, a private investigator. When Blakely mysteriously goes missing, Cairn realises that his own life is in danger.
