In London, Viscount Kit Stratton worries about the lunatic threatening
his loved ones. This military hero
believes Catherine Everleigh, co-owner with her brother Peter of Eveleigh’s
Auction House, can lure the maniac into the open so that Kit can end the danger
to his family.
When Kit catches Everleigh Girl hostess Lilah Marshall stealing
letters from her employer, he seizes an opportunity to catch the homicidal
enemy. Kit blackmails Lilah into helping
him with his crusade. Thus Lilah, who
left her crime family kin behind four years ago, travels with her boss to Kit’s
estate. However, neither Kit nor Lilah
expected to fall in love, which makes her the prime target of a
psychopath.
The latest Rules for the Reckless
Victorian (see Fool
Me Twice, That Scandalous Summer and E-novella Your Wicked Heart) is a thrilling romantic suspense filled with
tension and a vibrant resilient lead couple.
The entertaining relationship hooks the audience as on the surface Lilah
is from Venus and Kit from Mars, but readers know before the protagonists how
much they actually have in common. The merciless
predator brings out the good and fear in the targeted prey as fans of
historical novels anticipate High Noon in 1886 England.
