A Scandalous Journey: The Amberley Chronicles

A disillusioned officer and an aristocratic heiress meet on the road one dark night ...

Captain Duncan Kinninmont is riding home to Scotland when he chances across a stranded coach full of desperately sick passengers. Except for a small, pretty lady who threatens him with a pistol, mistaking the honourable young officer for a dangerous rogue.

Monique de Ville-Deuxtours is the daughter of a Marquis, and a rich woman in her own right. Sheltered and cossetted all her life, she never expected to need help from a chance-met stranger. But when her very life is in peril, Monique will take all the protection she can find, even if it means putting safety over propriety. She'll deal with scandal if and when it becomes necessary.

These two lovers would never have met, or become close, under normal circumstances. To elude, identify and defeat their murderous pursuers may be the easy part. Bridging the social chasm that separates them is an even harder challenge. Can they find happiness in the teeth of all obstacles?

Note: This is the ninth volume of the Amberley Chronicles , and has its complete arc. It is not necessary to have read the previous books.
