Miss Nimue Cheverton loves living on an island. It has everything she needs. She is an excellent daughter, an excellent member of her community, and has the wealth to remain unmarried. She is living a life most people would want except. . . She has never known passion. Surely, she deserves to know a bit of the romance that she has read about in the books she loves so well! But, she has no desire to give up her very good life for the trappings of marriage. Even for a charming Frenchman who makes her long for an affair of the heart.

Jean-Luc Benoist, Comte de Gastyne, may not be a Briarwood sibling, but the Briarwood blood runs deep in his veins and he certainly has their fearless spirit. Escaping the French Revolution with his sisters, he is plagued by nightmares and the feeling that he should have perished with his family and friends. Though he tries to hide his suffering, he cannot deny the English Miss who makes him laugh over books and long, adventurous walks. She tempts him to choose a life of love over pain. Can either of them dare to choose more than just a brief affair or will a chance at one enduring love be lost to these two independent souls?
