A psychiatrist once describes that if this trait is not matched with a tremendous mental ability like Michael's, it leads to insanity. As a result of this condition, he cannot block out peripheral information and must process it all. Michael has been clinically diagnosed with low latent inhibition, a condition in which his mind is more receptive to stimuli in the surrounding environment due to his unfortunate experience of being locked up in a pitch-black room for a long time in his childhood. Later, following the escape, Michael, now off with his brother, around whom Michael was willing to show his weaker side as he's not as strong as most people assume. Äänikirja: 12.Michael is described as 'always scanning the surroundings,' and 'has the silky voice of a sociopath (and) the resigned stance of a long-distance runner' and projected a confident determination that confounded his fellow prisoners, as, being close to Abruzzi or T-Bag or Bellick, he could not afford to be vulnerable. Shots are fired, tears fall, and love conquers all in this remarkable historical romance.

When Charmaine discovers proof of Farrington's betrayal, he is forced to choose between friendship and patriotism. In this realistic tale of historical fiction brimming with wealth and uncertain allegiances, society's obligations draw them together, along with Miss Brooke's constant companion, the timid Miss Brenda Boswell. Without her father's permission for marriage, is Miss Broke ready to relinquish her privileged life for love? Her father, however, wants his daughter to marry for love, not money. Miss Brooke's large dowry tempts both men. Problematically, Charmaine's best friend, Marquis Anthony Farrington, is clandestinely helping fund the American Revolution. Her rescuer, Robert Anderson, Viscount Charmaine, is preoccupied with troubled finances, an ill father, and defense of the Crown.

But rumors result, and Miss Brooke finds herself in the center of tawdry gossip. When villainy occurs, an unexpected hero comes to her aid. With proper manners and impeccable breeding, the beautiful Miss Alison Brooke should be the envy of London's eighteenth-century royal society.
