Althea Vaughn Channing had been accompanied all her life by
visions of the boy, then the man he became. Nothing of
stellar import was shown, just glimpses of his life now and
then when staring into the fire, or when her mind was at
rest. When a new vision showed her the man of her dreams
was in danger of having his life wrested from him Althea had
to take action. She packed up her trunks and headed to
London, leaving the quiet country backwater of her home
behind, and sought the aid of her Uncle Iago Vaughn to find
her mystery man.
She and her family had been blessed and burdened with
varying gifts, hers was the gift of sight; usually visions
of what was happening at the moment, but in this rare case,
giving her a glimpse of a possible future in time to avert
tragedy. Iago's gift of seeing spirits of the dead would
come to have chilling uses as well.
Through the reoccurring visions of her handsome stranger she
felt she knew him fairly well, but nothing prepared her for
meeting him in person, for the visceral effect his vital
presence had on her equilibrium...
Hartley Greville, seventh Marquis of Redgrave was not used
to being placed off balance, yet since his first glimpse of
the dainty Althea he had not been able to right himself. He
found her inexplicably attractive, yet when she spoke, it
became clear she was a few crackers shy of a tin. If she
were having visions he was his own Aunt Hattie. How did she
and her Uncle know so much about the secret government
mission in which he was engaged? Were they spies, and if so,
why show their hand so blatantly?
IF HE'S WILD is the third in Hannah Howell's Wherlock series
(Book 1 was 'If He's Wicked', Book 2 is 'If He's Sinful').
As usual the relatives gather round, and add a great deal to
the richness of the story line
Howell has her usual deft touch with humor and rhythm, and
the story adds some fascinating detail to the saga of the
Wherlocks with their unusual birthright.
An enchanting new novel from New York Times
bestselling author Hannah Howell that will make you
believe in the power of destiny-and desire-all over
again...
She Sees His Face
Everywhere...
Lady Alethea Vaughn Channing is
haunted by a vision of a man in danger-the same man who she
has seen in dreams time and time again. She doesn't even
know his name, and yet she feels the connection between
them, knows she is the only one standing between him and
disaster.
...Yet They Have Never
Met
But rakish Lord Hartley Greville is capable of
protecting himself, as he has proven more than once in his
perilous work as a spy for the crown. If he's to carry out
his duty, he'll need to put aside the achingly beautiful
woman with the strange gift. And yet, when Alethea's visions
reveal a plot that could endanger children, Hartley will not
be able to ignore the destiny that binds them together-or
resist the passion burning between them...
