Almost Taken

This is a Regency romance set in London, 1825. Kidnapped from Wales and taken to London, Ava Fychon is separated from her young brother and sister. To escape her pursuers, she flings herself in the Thames, only to wind up on the doorstep of the very man who can send her to prison. Deran Morissey, Earl of Atherton, doubts her story of abduction. Yet he soon learns Ava Fychon will go to great lengths and distances - either on foot or stolen horse - to reclaim her kin. Their search leads them to each other's heart, a love that can never be. As passions grow, each must face the painful truth that they want someone they may never have.
