Synopsis

When Katherine "Kit" FitzGilbert turned her back on London society more than a decade ago, she determined never to set foot in a ballroom again. But when business takes her to London and she's forced to run for her life, she stumbles upon not only a glamorous ballroom but also Graham, Lord Wharton. What should have been a chance encounter becomes much more as Graham embarks on a search for his friend's missing sister and is convinced Kit knows more about the girl than she's telling.

After meeting Graham, Kit finds herself wishing things could have been different for the first time in her life, but what she wants can't matter. Long ago, she dedicated herself to helping women escape the same scorn that drove her from London and raising the innocent children caught in the crossfire. And as much as she desperately wishes to tell Graham everything, revealing the truth isn't worth putting him and everyone she loves in danger.

"Hunter skillfully develops the main characters in her first Haven Manor installment, giving up enough about supporting personalities to ensure their stories will draw readers back."--Christian Market

"With her usual flair for nuanced characterization and an abundance of heart-tugging emotion, RITA award winner Hunter launches her new Haven Manor series with a beautifully crafted tale of love and faith."--Booklist

"Kit and her friends are delightful people with simple, homespun faith. They learn valuable spiritual lessons as our story progresses . . . . A Defense of Honor is peopled with charming characters and contains delightful prose." --All About Romance
