Samuel Hartley arrives in England with two missions. The wealthy Boston businessman tells everyone he came for commerce, but his real purpose involves Lady Emeline Gordon. She dismisses this brash American immediately, sneering at his casual footwear and forward manner. Samuel endures her contempt because he needs her connections. Her brother served in Samuel's regiment before Indians slaughtered the entire unit. Since that massacre, Samuel has pursued one goal: finding the traitor who led his comrades to death. He believes London holds the answer. Lady Emeline can open doors in English high society that remain closed to outsiders like him. Samuel will use her social position whether she cooperates willingly or not. He refuses to let British propriety stop his hunt for justice.
