CHERYL HOLT dazzles readers once again with another tale of
soaring romance and breathtaking drama as she delivers the
second novel in her critically-acclaimed ‘Lord Trent’ trilogy.
Helen Stewart never understood why—as a tiny girl—she and
her twin sister Harriet were sent away to boarding school
and never allowed home for holidays. At age sixteen, they
were shocked to discover that they are the illegitimate
daughters of the notorious rogue, Charles Sinclair. Cast out
by their relatives, they moved to London, and Helen has made
a life for herself as a lady’s companion. In her line of
employment, she must maintain a stellar reputation, but
she’s exhausted by the fussy whims of the debutantes she’s
forced to chaperone. She’d give anything to change her fate.
James Harcourt, Earl of Westwood, is in a bind. After his
father died, he learned that his estates were bankrupt. He
gambles to replenish his coffers so he’s living a dissolute
bachelor’s life. When his female ward arrives unexpectedly
for an extended visit, he must protect her from scandal by
hiring a lady’s companion. When pretty, alluring Helen
interviews for the position, he’s instantly smitten. She
possesses the qualifications to fill a much more intimate role.
He shocks her by suggesting she become his mistress, and
when his offer is rebuffed, he begins a cunning seduction,
aimed at wearing her down. Helen can’t resist the temptation
he offers, but she doesn’t have the sophistication to
survive in his world. And as James immerses them in a
dangerous spiral of pleasure and excitement, he proves that
he is determined to have her at any cost…
