The King of Whitechapel

<p><strong>Dartmoor 1891</strong></p><p></p><p>Nothing exciting ever happens in Elizabeth's life especially when she stays on her family's estate in Dartmoor. Endless moorland cold weather sheep and only her governess for company.</p><p></p><p>Boring.</p><p></p><p>So when Christopher a boy she's never met arrives at her house to stay for a while she's curious and thrilled. Her parents are clear though: she mustn't talk to him under any circumstances. Officially he isn't there. He's confined to a room in the guest wing never to meet anyone. Elizabeth is supposed to pretend he doesn't exist. So of course she wants to talk to him.</p><p>Freshly expelled from Eton for a crime he didn't commit Christopher is the illegitimate son of a duke. He's considered an uncomfortable embarrassing acquaintance no respectable lady should ever deal with.</p><p></p><p>But when Elizabeth and Christopher find themselves alone for a few days in a cottage during the country's most powerful snowstorm in centuries they get close-too close for her parents' liking.</p><p></p><p>He's sent away without the chance to say goodbye to Elizabeth. Only to meet her years later when she's his half-brother's bride-to-be.</p>
