The Legend of the Green Man — Sara Hely

When gay young Kitty Harcombe impulsively left on a journey to Ireland, danger was the last thing on her mind. She was bored with the scandal-ridden whirl of Regency London, including a certain scandal of her own, and she fancied a visit to her very respectable Irish suitor, Sir William Fossick. Perhaps she would even marry him, settle down at last…

But something was destined to wreck Kitty's plans. Something -- or someone.

His name was Luke Denny. They met in a ruined Irish castle, where he held her at gunpoint and accused her of spying.

It was the beginning of a strange new life. For Luke was drawing Kitty into his world -- a world of danger, intrigue, and violent passion.
