Lady Arabella Marshall is a widow. She has become used to being a widow and quite likes the fact that she doesn't have to depend on someone else for anything. She cares for those around her and in particular wonders about May, a young girl who turned up, in shock and amnesiac several months earlier.

Charles Hunter is looking for his sister, Sarah, who was kidnapped many months ago and has disappeared since. He and some friends dealt with some of the kidnappers and they're still looking for evidence to lead them to the others.

Arabella finds herself betrayed and pursued and may have to make some choices that may not sit as well as she would like, but then again maybe they will.

It's fairly predictable but I liked it. ( )
