About the book
Neula and her mother were safe, for the moment. Neula's stepfather would never seek his runaway wife at her childhood home, now the property of the notorious Marquis of Kerne, dubbed 'the Pied Piper' for the conquests that were the scandal of the Court... But, in the breathless space of a heartbeat, Neula's sanctuary became an island of love, and danger, as the Marquis faced the implacable vengeance of a murderous Russian prince!
