If Kit and Eleanor’s elopement wasn’t enough to fire a frenzy of gossip, it was then heard that Eleanor’s new husband had disappeared only a day after their hasty wedding! Five long months later, Lord Mostyn returned. Though not at liberty to explain his departure, he was still determined to win back the affection of his fuming bride. Would he succeed?
