I liked this second book in the Night trilogy better than I did the first book (Night Storm). The children were delightful as was the main character Lily.

Příběh zchudlé šlechtické dívky Lily se odehrává v Anglii těsně po napoleonských válkách. Lily je otcem zasnoubena s ovdovělým sirem Tristanem Winthropem, jemuž má pomoci v péči o jeho tři děti. Ten je však zavražděn a jeho dům vykraden a Lily s hrůzou seznává, že byla snoubenkou lupiče, jemuž se jeho kumpáni krutě pomstili. Lily zcela bez prostředků hledá pomoc u snoubencova příbuzenstva, aby pomohla hlavně dětem, jež neskonale miluje. Avšak strýc Arnold je ochoten pečovat o sirotky jen tehdy, pokud se krásná dívka stane jeho milenkou. A tak Lily prchá dál, do Londýna, za dalším příbuzným, snoubencovým bratrancem Knightem, a po předchozích nepříjemných zkušenostech se raději vydává za vdovu po Tristanovi a matku malých dětí. Rozmařilého mladíka nejdříve její rozpustilé děti iritují a brání se bližšímu soužití, ale Lilyina krása mu nakonec učaruje, i když respektuje její vdovský stav. Snoubencovi kumpáni, kteří nenašli v domě svůj ukrytý lup ji stále hledají. Situace se dramatizuje, Lily se musí Knightovi svěřit, a nakonec se jak Lily, tak Knight ocitají v nebezpečí života - a Lily projeví tolik odvahy a péče, že získá nejen Knightovu důvěru, ale i lásku.
