COLONEL ANCROFT’S LOVE Series

Carolyn Duval must get the fabled Ainderby Chalice back to its rightful home, in accordance with her late grandfather's wishes. Cursed with the ability to tempt humans to madness over it, she must keep its existence secret on her long journey. She's hired Colonel John Ancroft to escort her on the way, but since even he can not know their true reason, the youthful Carolyn must pose as the elderly widower Mrs. Hopkins. Will the truth come out, and will the overpowering control over man come from the chalice, or John and "Caro"'s love for each other?

Carolyn thought her biggest worry was to successfully deliver the chalice to where it belongs, but soon a new obstacle presents itself. Though a strong relationship develops between Caro and the Colonel, John, she can't help but feel that maybe her likeness to Gabriella might have something to do with it. Not only that, but on their journey to return the chalice they soon discover stories about Gabriella's past, to John's dismay. And as though to add salt to the wound, Caro also has a devastating past that presents itself in the form of a letter addressed to John. After learning about Gabriella's past actions, John couldn't help but feel judgmental towards Caro and not even give her a chance to explain. Caro knew she couldn't trust in love, but she thought John was different. Will all be resolved in the end?
