Headstrong and determined, Charlie Reyne is not your usual society miss. After years spent following the troops abroad, Charlie’s life takes a major shift. Threatened with loss of fortune and reputation, she travels on an adventurous journey home to England. Along the way, on land and at sea, she charms several men of interest and decides that one of them is the love of her life. Can she gain this man’s affection without giving up the vision she has vowed to achieve? How will she fare back in England as she reconciles what she wants with what she needs? This smart young lady has learnt war tactics and strategies first-hand. Join Charlie Reyne as she sorts out life in her inimitable style and applies her version of “the art of war” to win the man of her dreams.
