Jacques is surprised to find a young woman alone on the road to London. Being the gentleman that he is, he can't leave her there. He offers to take her into town and even though she is hesitant as first, she does reluctantly decide to join him. He ends up leaving her at the Everton Domestic Society. Thinking that he will never see her again, he finds her working with a scientific friend of his.
Diana is on the run from the French government. They kidnapped her and her parents in order to get her father to work on a rocket for them. After her parents were killed, she escaped and found her way back to England. Her plan from the beginning was to hide from the men chasing her then she runs into Jacques. Working for the scientist is a dream come true, until the men hunting her find her in London.
Jacques is determined to to protect Diana at all costs, but she doesn't want anyone else to die while trying to help her. They have fallen for each other, but will this danger pull them apart?
I really enjoyed Jacques and Diana's story. The intrigue of the men after Diana, just added an extra level of interest to their love story. I loved that Jacques loved Diana's scientific mind while others in her past made her feel like she should hide it. It was also nice to see the H/H from the previous books.
