Madeleine Pelligrew is a prisoner, trapped in a mental institution and moved on to another at regular intervals she can’t understand why she is there or what she has done to deserve this fate with little hope of escape.
But one day after fourteen years imprisonment help unexpectedly arrives.
A man has come to arrange for her release.
Confused and afraid to trust she is still set on finding out why this happened and the truth behind it all.
The only person she feels she can trust is Pierre de la croix.
But even he has a troubled past.
She uncovers a nest of spies, murder, corruption and shady dealing.
Apart from all this she is also horrified to unearth the fact that her betrayal was closer to home than she had thought.
Really enjoyed this, it had it all, danger, intrigue, romance and a dashing hero set on winning Madeleine’s heart.
A fantastic read.
