Summary: "Colville of the Guards, Volume 3 (of 3)" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Ellinor Wellwood, who finds herself embroiled in perilous situations involving intrigue and romance. At the heart of the narrative is the tension between Sir Redmond Sleath, an unyielding pursuer, and the absent Leslie Colville, whose fate hangs in the balance as Ellinor struggles to escape the confines imposed on her. The opening of the book introduces readers to a dramatic scene aboard the yacht "Flying Foam," where Ellinor awakens disoriented and confused, having narrowly escaped drowning. Rescued by the sailing-master Ringbolt, she is reluctantly brought aboard the yacht, where she encounters Sir Redmond Sleath, who is infatuated with her and seeks to exploit her vulnerability. As Ellinor grapples with her fear and loathing of Sleath, who continues to pressure her with his advances, her thoughts drift back to Colville, the man she truly cares for. The dynamics of power, affection, and abduction set the stage for the unfolding drama, as Ellinor yearns for freedom and clarity amidst a fog of uncertainty and unwanted attention.
