Lily Boscastle is happily engaged, anticipating a beautiful
wedding and the life she had planned. But when she sees her
fiancé in an altercation where someone dies -- and no one
believes her -- she rejects the marriage, despite how it
will destroy her reputation.
And it definitely does that. Lily finds herself with no
alternatives but to seek employment to support herself. She
takes a position as housekeeper to the Duke of Gravenhurst,
an unusual man she met at a party. Of course, his audacity
and spirit tempted her at the party, but Lily resisted
because of her engagement.
Now, she finds herself employed as the duke's housekeeper,
with nothing to keep her from indulging in the attraction.
But Lily has scruples and morals, despite what society
thinks, and instead of focusing on kissing Samuel Charles
Aubrey St. Aldwyn, she wants to find out what's going on in
his odd household. Strange noises at night, behavior that
is far outside the norm and a mysterious (maybe a little
crazy?) aura around the duke stirs Lily's curiosity.
Ms. Hunter's Boscastle series is one of the few historical
romance series that I read. You'll find lively characters,
unusual plots and an underlying sense of fun (who can
resist the Boscastles and their daring reputations?). But
these are not lighthearted books lacking depth. You'll find
yourself falling in love with well, many more Boscastles
than you could ever marry... If you haven't found this
series, A DUKE'S TEMPTATION is a great place to start. The
duke is an unusual character, well-matched by Lily.
Shameless rogues who'll do
anything to captivate the women they crave. Willing ladies
stolen by desire, seduced into risking it all.
Samuel Charles Aubrey St. Aldwyn, Duke of Gravenhurst, is a
radical rogue and champion of unpopular causes. No one would
dream that he is also the author of a bestselling series of
dark historical novels, a writer accused of corrupting the
morals of the public, and a master seducer who counts among
his passionate fans wellborn Miss Lily Boscastle. But Lily
is no stranger to disrepute.
When her engagement to another man ends in a tarnished image
and public disgrace, Lily is forced to seek employment
outside London--as housekeeper for Gravenhurst himself. Her
sharp wit and sensuality appeal to his wicked instincts--and
she's a perfect match for every beguiling move he makes. Yet
there's more to him than Lily imagined--a secret known to
few living souls, ghosts from the past that haunt both of
their futures in ways too dangerous for even the duke to
have invented.
