She Tempts The Duke
Lorraine Heath
Avon, Jan 31 2012, $7.99
ISBN: 9780062022462
In 1844 in the freezing Tower of Pembroke Castle, fourteen year old Duke of Keswick Sebastian Easton and two brothers (Rafe and Tristan) expect to die that night at the hands of their Uncle Lord David Easton. Sebastian believes his father was murdered by their Uncle in what looked like an unfortunate riding accident; and he knows they have no allies in this “prison”. That is until their childhood friend Mary Wynne-Jones arrives to help them escape from certain execution.
Though Sebastian sealed a promise to come for her with a kiss, by 1856 Lady Mary gave up on him the other “Lost Lords” and is engaged. Sebastian has returned hardened by war and his Uncle’s actions over a decade ago and since. His face scarred, Sebastian vows vengeance while Lady Mary, ignoring her father’s warnings, wants his love that she once had and she still gives to her acrimonious lord. Uncle David will soon force his nephew to choose.
The first Lost Lords of Pembrook Victorian romantic suspense is an exciting thriller as the Duke returns with one thought in mind until he meets his beloved love. The lead protagonists are a great second chance pairing of two brave souls whose relationship seems as damaged as his soul. Although Lord David has no redeeming qualities as an over the top of Big Ben 200-proof evil villain, historical fans will enjoy Lorraine Heath’s enthraling tale for the battle of the duke’s soul.
