Home from Waterloo, life in peacetime is rather dull for the adventure-loving Captain John Staple. But when he finds himself lost and benighted on the moors, he hardly expects to find a frightened young boy who's been left alone to tend a toll gatehouse. Undercover as the new keeper of the house, John investigates, and begins to unravel a complex mystery. Then he meets the orphaned Nell Stornaway, an outspoken beauty who is an unwitting pawn in a treacherous scheme. Between hiding his true identity from Nell, and the arrival in the neighbourhood of some distinctly shady characters, John finds himself embarking upon the adventure - and romance - of a lifetime...

Historical romance fiction.
