The Keeper
Ten years of self-imposed exile hasn’t cured Gray Langdon of the horror of his parents’ murder or the sting of rejection by the lovely, though enigmatic, Ophelia Grant. Determined to overcome his demons, this aristocrat turned warrior-monk returns to England to bring the killer to justice . . . but to do so he’ll have to enlist none other than Ophelia in his cause.
Ophelia has her own mystery to solve when her Vestal sister, Catherine Ainsley, goes missing. Although Gray agrees to grant Ophelia access to Cat’s high-society circle of gentleman admirers, the price he demands threatens to expose Ophelia’s service to the Royal Order of the Vestals. As Gray and Ophelia draw closer to the heart of the puzzle, their partnership stokes the embers of their attraction . . . until Ophelia’s secrets threaten to separate them forever. Although the fate of the monarchy ultimately hangs in the balance, Gray discovers he must win Ophelia’s love to triumph over his demons.
