The Light of Stars

An unwanted betrothal becomes a journey toward home, freedom, and a love neither expected.

When Kitty Grenville’s grandfather announces her engagement to Sebastian Sinclair, she’s appalled. She barely remembers the boy she met as a child. Now he is tied to the East India Company, the organization that tore Kitty and her brother from their mother and home in Hyderabad.

Sebastian carries the weight of duty and regret. To atone for past sins, he returns to England to fulfill a long-standing betrothal and defend the company before Parliament. Though Kitty makes her disinterest clear, he is drawn to her intellect and spirit.

As Kitty navigates her first London season, her opinion of Sebastian shifts. When he is called back to India, she stuns everyone by marrying him and going with him, hoping to escape her grandfather’s control and find her mother. Together, they must confront the legacy of family and empire, and discover whether a marriage of obligation can grow into enduring love.
