**Only the bonus chapter is paid, the rest of the story is (and will stay) free!!** Libby Marks-Whelan is decidedly not a lady. Kicked out of nearly every finishing school in the country, she's shocked when her demure, straight-laced cousin Ella invites her to the royal court as attendant during her debutante season. What Ella fails to realize, however, is that Libby's brand of mischief is exactly the kind of distraction Prince Andrew is looking for during his inaugural season as an eligible bachelor. Cover designed by Adam Budny

"It was an unsettled time, a time of conflict, war and change. In Europe, Napoleon, self-proclaimed Emperor of France was causing destruction and havoc wherever he turned his armies, threatening even the shores of Britain herself. The subjects of that country lived in daily fear of invasion by French troops. Though all of this seemed a comfortable distance from the colonies in the Americas, still it had the ability to affect and trouble those loyal subjects of the Empire most deeply. After all, if Britain were taken by Napoleon, what would become of her peoples even here on this far side of the world?" Mary is the beautiful daughter of an important government official in Nova Scotia. She has enjoyed a privileged upbringing in that colony, but even the daughter of a powerful man cannot be protected from all things. Her sheltered existence is thrown into turmoil when, while attending a social event, she becomes acquainted with the dashing Captain William Hargreaves. The handsome British Post Captain is wintering in the Port of Halifax prior to the Royal Navy's inevitable confrontation with the forces of Napoleon at Trafalgar. His path is clearly marked before him until he sets eyes upon the lovely Mary Hamilton, throwing even a man's best laid plans into disarray. With an ocean between them and the Empire at war, can the growing attraction between William and Mary survive such perilous times as these?
