A love that shouldn't be and a terror that was all too real. Richard Strathmore, Duke of Lancaster, was tired of the paparazzi, especially on the anniversary of his wife's death. With his children, Richard escaped to an isolated island off the Texas coast to find some peace. Maggie Carlisle was tired of being cosseted because of her new blindness. She knew that if she didn't break free, she'd never be independent again. She tested her resolve by going to Gull Island, to a cottage owned by her aunt, only to discover that the British had already landed. Richard and Maggie each found in the other a way to be a different person for awhile. Attraction, however, had to be put aside for duty, and then survival, as Richard was suddenly the target of an unlikely Scottish radical. Stretching from Texas, to England, to Scotland, His Grace and Favor is the story of a love that shouldn't have been, and a terror that was only too real.
