At 16, Charlotte Nash's safe world fell apart with the death of her parents. Her father died at the hands of the French, while her mother died of a broken heart. Her older sisters scraped enough money together to send Charlotte to a prestigious boarding school in order for her to make connections that would secure her future. Knowing how temporary life can be, Charlotte decides against finding a husband and instead chooses to honor her father's memory by spying against the French. Charlotte's masquerade as an outrageous flirt, who barely tows the lines of respectability, fools her sisters and society and allows her to gather information without suspicion.

Dand Ross owes his life to Charlotte's father. Colonel Nash gained Dand and his two friends release from a French prison, ensuring his own death. Returning to England, Dand and his friends realize one among them betrayed their mission. The vows the young boys took of eternal fidelity and friendship, at the Scottish abbey where they were raised, have been broken. Suspicions and accusations keep the three former friends apart, leaving an empty hole in Dand's life. Refusing to look back, he continues working in the shadows for England, while evading his friends.

Charlotte summons Dand to aid her in stealing valuable papers for England. They match wits against a dangerous enemy while trying to ignore the growing attraction and passion between them.

The final novel of the Rose Hunter trilogy sweeps readers into the shadowy world of spies and intrigues. Ms. Brockway gives readers an unlikely pair of lovers. Charlotte is not the usual heroine as she enters the world of the demimonde to succeed in her mission, and Dand carries his own crippling secrets. MY SURRENDER is a wild and passionate tale that belongs on the keeper shelf.

And when Highlander Dand Ross -- a dangerous, disreputable blackguard -- reappears in her life and offers his aid, dare she accept it?
