"Determined to save his family's estate, Scottish Captain Liam Lockhart of the Royal Highland Regiment journeys to London to locate the jeweled statue that was misappropriated by the English Lockhart cousins almost 400 years earlier. Upon finding rooms at the home of stodgy Lord Farnsworth, Liam makes the acquaintance of Farnsworth's daughter, Ellen, and her nine-year-old child, Natalie. Ellen and Liam begin a friendship that ... progresses to romance, but Liam's occupation as a soldier leaves little hope for the ... future. [Then] Ellen steals the statue for her own purposes, leading Liam on a ... frenzied chase across the country"--Publishers weekly.
