Blurb

Horrified when her beloved dog, Rufus, is caught in a cruel snare while out walking in the estate of Arrow Castle, local Parson’s daughter Shenda is at first relieved when a handsome stranger comes to poor Rufus’s rescue and then at once she is abashed and confused when he claims a kiss – Shenda’s very first – as his reward.

But then she is told that her father has been killed by a savage bull and that she must leave the family’s Vicarage forthwith. Penniless Shenda is obliged to take a job at Arrow Castle as a seamstress, where she stumbles across a letter from one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s spies to Society beauty Lucille Gratton, ‘the most beautiful Lady in England’, who is staying at The Castle.

Reporting the discovery to the Earl, she finds that he is no other than her ‘gentleman stranger’ and just as she realises that she is falling in love with the heroic Earl of Arrow, she is embroiled in a counter-espionage plot that puts her young life – and her love for the Earl – in deadly peril.

Author’s Note
Author’s NoteThe background of this novel is accurate and mostly from The Years of Victory by Sir Arthur Bryant. Bonaparte’s spies were everywhere and he did know about ‘The Secret Expedition’. What he did not know was where it was going. Nelson’s brilliant perception took him West following the French Fleet. It was a shot in the dark and, as he said to his secretary, “If they are not gone to the West Indies, I shall be blamed! To be burnt in effigy or to be buried in Westminster Abbey is my alternative.” He was right, and the same year he won the Battle of Trafalgar, saying as he lay dying, “Thank God I have done my duty.” Then his spirit passed and he became “One with England and the Sea”.
