Had We Never Loved

Synopsis:
It is a turbulent era of intrigue and deception; the struggle for England's throne wages fierce and bitter. In the midst of this strife is born the sinister League of the Jewelled Men, hatching another deadly conspiracy.
Lord Horatio Glendenning is unaware of the noose tightening around his family and fortune -- his thoughts center solely on a certain Miss Amy Consett, a veritable gypsy hoyden who stole his purse and, heaven help him, his heart.
While he feels compelled to give cheeky Amy a lesson in honesty, the bewitching maid has a few things to teach him about survival, loyalty, and courage. And as the dastardly league springs its trap, conspiring to send Lord Glendenning and his family to the gallows, their survival depends on the ingenuity of a most wayward miss, who dares to risk all for love ...
