Thea Ashbrook comes to London on a mission to do right by her half-brothers — not to find a husband. Homesick for Greece, she causes an incident at a Salon lecture on Greek architecture where she is introduced to the annoyingly handsome Duke of Morewether. The gossips have told her of every deviant escapade for which he’s so famous, and she is not impressed. When she discovers that his love of family mirrors her own, she gives herself permission to open her heart to him.
Christian, Duke of Morewether, is infamous for his scandalous ways. He thinks his life lacks nothing, until he meets Miss Althea Ashbrook and, for the first time in his life, he finds himself tongue tied. When his past comes back to haunt him, it will take all his powers of persuasion to convince Thea he is worthy of her love.
The duke has a secret – one that Thea thinks she could never forgive and sends her racing for home. To find redemption and win her back, Christian must realize mistakes can’t be ignored forever.
The secrets you keep can change your life forever.
This book was originally released in March 2014 and did well at the time. I routinely do sales and it does well.
Christian suppressed a chuckle when the woman actually snorted. The others in the lecture hall did not find her anywhere near as amusing as he did. It was apparent by their glares. But then again, the audience who generally attended scholarly lectures consisted of stuffy old gentlemen who were perfectly happy to flirt with beautiful young ladies in social settings, but were outraged should one infiltrate their lecture.
He stretched his legs out into the aisle and rubbed his sore knee. He’d been two months in the country working with the spring foals. Only three days back in town, and he was already looking for entertainment. He hadn’t expected anything so diverting as an uproar at a lecture on Greek architecture at Lady Bethel’s salon.
The lady shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest. He’d come to the lecture because of his fascination on the subject, and he’d been disappointed to discover he’d caught the speaker giving bits of misinformation. The fact that this woman seemed to recognize this fact as well was supremely interesting. Of course, he was too well bred to make a public display of the fact he knew more than the expert, but watching her do so was deliciously diverting.
He didn’t know the lady, but he did know the companion who sat with her. Miss Anna Sinclair, his sister’s life-long best friend, fidgeted in the next chair. Anna’s discomfort only added to his amusement, such was his relationship with the woman as close to him as his own sibling. Anna had lived with his family since she was ten, her military father having no idea what to do with her when her mother died. Though there was affection between her and Christian, they had never grown out of their sibling-like rivalry.
