A novella.
 
Before their worlds collide in Book One of The Ranfurly Mysteries, Lord Robert Ranfurly and Courtney Drake lived very different lives.

Could the past hold the keys to the future?
 
Courtney never went looking for danger, but it managed to find her. Now while she awaits her unknown fate, she’d rather be trapped in thoughts of her past, than face the terrible reality she is living. Memories of her best friend and her earliest days with her husband, Keith, become her escape from present danger.
 
In a different time and a different place, the antisocial Viscount of Knoxfordshire, Lord Robert Ranfurly, never went looking for love. But one day it managed to sneak up on him. She was the last person he expected himself to fall for. The captivating actress, Desiree Diamond, started off as his enemy, until unexpected circumstances brought them together. But Robert couldn't foresee that loving Desiree would come with a price, and would change the course of his life forever.
