In 1793, Richard Verinder travels through France disguised as a ragman. Verinder, an English officer, is hoping to gain information about the French military, as the two countries are on the verge of war. Once in Rouen, however, he is sidetracked from his quest.
The distraction comes in the form of Elizabeth Laurence, a young woman running from her painful past. Elizabeth has spent the past five years hiding in Rouen to escape her brother's devious and sadistic plans for her.
When Verinder first hears of the doctor's English niece, he knows she is in danger. Louis XVI will soon be sent to the guillotine, and the country will erupt into chaos. And Elizabeth-an Englishwoman-is a target for retribution.
To protect her, Verinder comes up with a daring solution: they will pose as husband and wife to get out of Rouen alive. Verinder couldn't have predicted, however, the strong feelings he would form for his false bride nor the true extent of the danger the couple would face-both have enemies that will do anything to ensure their downfall. To survive the perils that lie before them, the two must rely on-and trust in-each other.
