A Reckless Beauty

Fanny Becket has adored her adopted brother since the
day they both lost their parents and became part of the
Becket family. Where he goes, she has always followed.
But pursuing him into battle, Fanny quickly finds herself
in the line of fire and quite unexpectedly—in the embrace
of a handsome stranger.



Valentine Clement, Earl of Brede, has seen enough of
fighting to know there is no adventure to be found at
Waterloo. Yet the moment he spies Fanny he is duty
bound to save the reckless beauty, most especially from
herself. Although with a woman such as Fanny, it may
very well be his lordship who is in need of true protection.
