Adopted daughter Eleanor Becket is dedicated to her family and its welfare. She is also a commendable commander, and a keeper of secrets, most especially her own. Who would ever expect this fragile beauty, with her quiet ways and her unfortunate limp, to be capable of anything more than her accomplishments at embroidery and her mastery of musical instruments?

Only Jack Eastwood feels the need to look more deeply at this self–proclaimed spinster, and what he sees lead both Jack and Eleanor to the very edge of desire and danger. Eleanor is forced to risk her family, her chance at love, even her life, in one desperate gamble.
