‘I expect you to sleep in your own bed, in your own room.’ Her mouth had gone dry, her stomach was full of butterflies.
‘I am your bodyguard. I need to be close to you.’ He was touching the flame to the other candles in the room, his hand steady as he did so. Eva felt her irrational panic building. What was she afraid of? That he would ravish her? Ridiculous. Somehow common sense did not stop the unsettling physical reactions.
‘Then sleep on the floor.’ She pointed to the far corner, hidden behind a screen.

As regent of a small principality within France, Dowager Grand Duchess Eva de Maubourg feels secure, until Jack Ryder arrives to tell her that her 9-year-old son, who she believes is safe in England, has had strange accidents and that her brother-in-law is making explosives for Napoleon.
Knowledge is a dangerous thing, and Jack has been assigned to escort Eva to safety. They flee, using disguises, their wits and all the time watching their backs. Danger ignites passion, and though Eva and Jack know romance complicates their mission they cannot resist a chance for happiness. But what will happen once they reach England? Can love overcome their stations in life?
