Queen Elizabeth sits on England’s throne. A once Catholic country is now ruled by a Protestant Queen. In a time of fear, turmoil and bold deeds, many heroes are seldom written into history... After aiding in the capture of the flagship Rosario and helping to defeat the Spanish Armada, Sir Henry Bainbridge is set to make his mark on the world and strengthen his position as man of authority. Now in charge of the Spanish prisoners, Henry must negotiate their return to Spain and manage the care of his people. However, when he comes across a woman amongst the survivors, his future plans are put on hold. The exotic beauty draws him in and his honour will not let him doing anything other than protect her. Henry takes her into his home and places her under house arrest. He can only hope his principles are enough to protect her from his desires... In a time when small differences spark fear into the heart of many, Antonia finds herself drawn into a battle between a zealous priest, a discontented population and the most honourable man she’s ever met. Nothing can ever come of their attraction, not while he’s holding her father prisoner and not when so many differences divide them. Or can it?
