John Seymour, future Duke of Somerset, and Lady Katherine's `Kitty" marriage has been arranged since birth. After his father's death, John is threatened and not only feels for his safety but Kitty's as well. Along with the duchess, they plan the best solution would be to hide with the gypsies until John reaches his majority and can marry Lady Katherine.Three years pass by and he dearly wishes to reunite himself with his mother and Kitty until he is asked to find the spy among the gypsies. Believing John has broken his promise to marry Kitty, her parents give her a season in London. Immediately John goes to London after hearing she is looking for a husband.It gets entertaining when John takes on a new identity among society and Kitty doesn't suspect it is him. I really loved the dialogue between the h/h which at times was flirtatious and witty. Loved, loved his wooing and in the process they began to examine their own feelings.Towards the end, the reader gets a glimpse into the interesting customs of a gypsy camp. I enjoyed how the author goes back and forth from the hero and the heroine. There are some twists and turns, danger and adventure.Subtle inspirational Regency, we are told Kitty prays but are only privy to a few of her prayers. Some dangerous situations force John to turn to prayer and in the end Kitty's constant faith lead John to believe in God.I felt the ending a little abrupt and some characters could have been enhanced with a little more depth as well. (My reasons for the 4.5 star rating)I hope the author writes more books set in the Regency period and that Robert gets his own story.
