New York Times bestselling author, CHERYL HOLT, will sweep
readers away with the first novel in her new and
breathtaking ‘Lord Trent’ trilogy…
With the death of
his older brother, Michael Wainwright, Viscount Henley, has
become heir to his father, Duke of Clarendon. The
Wainwright men are renowned cads, and as his brother’s will
is read, it’s discovered that he sired an illegitimate son
and has left the eight-year-old boy his entire fortune.
Michael decides to bring the boy to London so he can be
showered with all the wealth and status guaranteed by his
inheritance. But first, he has to gain custody from the
boy’s aunt, who is determined to keep her nephew away from
Michael’s dissolute family.
Frances “Fanny”
Carrington has always lived in a small village in the
country. As a newborn, she was left in a basket on the
church steps and raised by the vicar and his wife. But
they’ve died, and Fanny is in dire straits, struggling to
raise her nephew, to keep food on the table and a roof over
their heads. When she begins to receive correspondence from
Michael, asking for custody, she can’t help but be
suspicious. For years, the Wainwrights have refused to
claim her nephew or provide financial assistance to him.
She’s alarmed by their sudden interest. What can it
mean?
As Michael finally meets Fanny, their
attraction is swift, blatant, and dangerous. He can’t fight
the need to have her at any cost, and gradually, he lures
her into his decadent life of affluence and privilege. But
she’s never possessed the callous nature required to thrive
in the cut-throat world of the aristocracy, so she could
never understand the peril she faces from those who would do
anything to keep them apart…
