An accused poisoner plucked from the streets of a Moroccan port finds security as an earl's mistress

Saida Hossini is so grateful to have escaped the narrow streets of Ceuta with her life intact, she doesn't question the quiet existence offered by the woman who saved her life, Captain Eleanor Goodrum.

She'd had a choice. She could busy herself at one of her mentor's many estates, training other former fugitives like herself in the fine art of herbalism…or she could take on the life and anonymity of an earl's mistress. One day a week hes hers to please, to talk to…but sometimes, she wishes there were more. The kindly earl never shares anything of himself beyond the pleasure of his perfect body.
