An unexpected governess...

Charlotte "Charlie" Pedrick is looking for her fifth governess assignment after leaving her smuggler family and village.

In the midst of falling in love, treachery abounds.

Rajesh doesn't believe his father's, his brother's, or his sister-in-law's death were accidents. The East India Company is holding a grudge, and Charlie's smuggler family only complicates matters. This couple rides into a dangerous unknown when they must face those who would target them with subterfuge and death.
