1790. In Europe, the war against the French rages. In Ayrshire, a different kind of battle begins... Once, Frederick Striker betrayed her, then abandoned Clare thirteen years earlier. Now, Clare Quinn is no longer a guileless, impressionable innocent but a well-to do widow, mother of a young daughter whom she must protect from his predatory charm and her greedy machinations. Their deadly game of passion and deceit will inevitably bring ruin to one of them...
Honestly was very disappointed in this book because I loved the first one so much and I felt like this one just seriously lost the plot. It was still entertaining, but not nearly as good as the first one. Like at all.
Interesting, but while they are some decent characters, there are a great many unpleasant ones. I'm glad I got the "rest of the story," but don't think I'd ever recommend it to anyone.
