Miss Eleanor Argyle has modern aspirations for a Victorian lady. The daughter of an intrepid traveller, she's confident and rebellious.
After her father's death, she refuses to be chaperoned by anyone - least of all a man that she'd much rather bed. She's wanted Mr Gregory Munroe for years, but she is determined not to sacrifice her independence to get him.
Gregory Munroe is both aroused and infuriated by his charge. She's stubborn, and he can sense that she's about to try to outrun him. He thwarts her, trapping her aboard a northbound train. Eleanor is secretly thrilled, and when she subsequently decides to invite him to a brazen night of passion, he barely stops to think about her motives.
Can Eleanor have him, whilst also giving him the slip?
A fiery mix of passion and rebellion inspires a chase that runs the length of Britain - but neither Eleanor nor Gregory expects to find the knowledge that waits at its end.
