Much has happened in the five years since Reagan disappeared through the curtain of time, taking Cullen McKinnon with her in the hope of saving the young knight's life. The least of those events is Henry's awarding Connor the titles of duke of Featherstone and earl of Rockport. Upon Connor's request, the earldom was passed into his care to hold until the rightful heir can take possession. No one but Nic, Morgan, and he knew that the heir is Reagan O'Riley.

Part two of Unfinished Business finds Connor back in King Henry's service. Tucked inside King Louis XII's safe are the blueprints for modern war machines designed by master engineer Leonardo da Vinci. Conner is charged with the delicate and quite illegal task of stealing them back before the French monarch and his military advisers have the opportunity to produce those war machines, which would result in tipping the balance of power in the region.

Morgan McKinnon, seventh Duchess of Seabridge, refuses to believe that her husband is dead, regardless of the facts that tell her otherwise.

Barely escaping with her life after another failed assassination attempt, Grace finds herself safely tucked away in obscurity. Now in England, Cullen McKinnon and Gage, Duke of Seabridge, have her ensconced in accommodations that are anything except a humble homeless shelter.

And this time they're ready.

Watching that murderer flee the scene, he makes his intentions clear: She is next.

Book two (parts 1 & 2) of this eight-part series focuses on the characters who are rough around the edges: Connor Holden and the fiery Irish physician, Reagan O'Riley.
