After a record breaking sail from China, Alexi de
Warenne’s moment of triumph quickly vanishes. At his
welcoming party, his bewitching childhood friend Elysse
O’Neill begins flirting with a shipmate, clearly punishing
Alexi for his time at sea. But when Alexi finds Elysse
desperately struggling in the man’s arms, tragedy ensues.
Within days, Alexi weds her to save her honor—and leaves
her to forge a new life.
and Pretense
Elysse de Warenne rules the ton with her wit and grace,
but the whispers of "abandoned bride" follow her
ruthlessly. Elysse will never reveal the truth: that she
hasn’t see her husband in six years—and they didn’t even
consummate their marriage! When Alexi unexpectedly
returns to England, Elysse will do whatever it takes to
win his heart and claim her place at his side.
Cannot wait until I get this one. I forget which de Warenne brother Alexi belongs to but I do remember he was born of a Russian noble woman. This ought to be GOOD> (Brandi Evans 6:18pm September 3, 2010)
