In 1820 Bedfordshire, Juliet Finch survives by wit, skill, and secrecy after her father’s disgrace leaves her alone and hunted by circumstance. When she’s caught poaching on the estate of the formidable Henry Russell, he offers an uneasy bargain: help him track the shadowy figure tormenting his sister, and her crime will be forgiven. As Juliet follows the trail, danger closes in, buried truths surface, and an unexpected attraction complicates every step—until Juliet must decide whether trusting Henry will save her…or cost her everything.
