It Takes A Rogue

James II's dictatorial turn has emptied Thomas Davenport's order book — nobody builds when nobody knows who will be king by Christmas. Henry, the new Earl of Sherborne, has married Grace Davenport and now walks a tightrope between loyalty to a Catholic king and the rebellion gathering around him, with a secret that could destroy them both.

Across the North Sea, Matthew Davenport is living in exile in Holland when the chance comes to go home — as a scout for William of Orange's planned invasion. And in the gilded, glacial world of the Wiltshires, a duchess who has never been warm to anyone in her life meets Lady Roakes, and discovers that a rogue need not stay a rogue forever.

As William's momentum builds and men of every description flock to his banner, ambition, love and revenge range across the county, and the Davenports find themselves on more than one side of the same war.
