About the book
Kyla Shenley overhears her stepmother plotting to kill her young brother, Terry, and to sell Kyla to a depraved peer, to inherit their money and satisfy her insatiable greed! Kyla and Terry run away to their old nanny, who is now looking after the Earl of Granston's niece at Liliecote Castle. In her travels, the angelic Kyla found unexpected help -- first in the guise of a Good Highwayman -- then in the awe-inspiring person of the Earl of Granston. They go to Earl's home, only to discover that their unscrupulous stepmother is at the castle. United with Kyla against the wicked schemes of the evil widow, the bold and handsome Aristocrat found that Love conquers all... claiming even his own valiant heart!
