Sunny Naples is dark in the shadow of death as typhoid decimates its people, including the father lovely young Forella Claye adored with all her heart… Fleeing for her life, she arrives, forlorn, at her aunt and uncle's London house.

With the Prince hot on her heels, she gallops to faster and faster to freedom — until finally Forella is captured… And so is her heart.
