About the book
Kit Fielding, proud heir to tradition and sporting hero to legions of fans, is drawn into a crusade to save his twin sister's marriage from ruinous scandal. His intercession proves more costly than he'd imagined by thrusting him into a deadly contest with a ruthless robber baron, and a violent adversary far too close to home for comfort.
