Juliet refuses to hand over the gold signet ring Charles gave to her and finds herself staring down the barrel of a pistol. Charles was killed in battle.Įn route, their coach is overtaken by a band of cutthroats who don’t think twice about shooting the passengers in cold blood. Charles had told her that if anything should happen to him that his oldest brother Lucien should be Charlotte’s guardian. She is bound for Blackheath Castle in Berkshire in hopes that her deceased betrothed’s family, the de Monforte’s will accept both her and her daughter. With her is her infant daughter, Charlotte. Juliet arrives in England from war-torn America. There’s something else altogether about a heroine who returns the favor by saving him! I knew right from the opening chapters of The Wild One when just such a scene took place that not only was I going to immensely enjoy this book, but that Lord Gareth de Montforte and Juliet Paige were going to make a very interesting couple. There’s just something about a hero who charges out of the dark to save women and children from the hands of vile villains.
