Set in 1706 during Queen Anne Stuart’s reign,
Far Beyond Rubies begins when William, Baron Kemp, Juliana’s half-brother
claims she and her young sister, Henrietta, are bastards. Spirited Juliana is
determined to prove the allegation is false, and that she is the rightful
heiress to Riverside, a great estate.
On his way to deliver a
letter to William, Gervaise Seymour sees Juliana for the first time on the
grounds of her family estate. The sight of her draws him back to India. When
“her form changed to one he knew intimately – but not in this lifetime,”
Gervaise knows he would do everything in his power to protect her.
Although Juliana and
Gervaise are attracted to each other, they have not been formally introduced
and assume they will never meet again. However, when Juliana flees from home,
and is on her way to London, she encounters quixotic Gervaise at an inn.
Circumstances force Juliana to accept his kind help. After Juliana’s life
becomes irrevocably tangled with his, she discovers all is not as it seems.
Yet, she cannot believe ill of him for, despite his exotic background, he
behaves with scrupulous propriety while trying to help her find evidence to
prove she and her sister are legitimate.
