Cara Elliot's follow-up to Sin with a Scoundrel and
To Surrender to a Rogue, features heroine Katharine
Kylie Woodbridge and "Rake" Comte Giovanni Marco Musto della
Ghiradelli amidst romantic attraction and political intrigue.
Kate lead a nomadic childhood as a pirate and cutpurse until
her parents died of a fever. Ward and Granddaughter to the
Duke of Cluyne, Kate is independent, intelligent, and strong
willed.
She does her very best to deny her growing attraction to Marco
while attempting to fit into polite society and familial
expectations.
Marco is the epitome of "rake". Initially he appears to care
for
nothing but women and drink, yet is coerced into political
espionage for an upcoming event at the Duke of Cluyne's
estate.
Marco is drawn to the lovely Kate, who rebuffs his flirtations
for more intellectual pursuits in botany.
This story has intrigue, murder, mystery and plenty of heat.
It is a worthy Regency romance read!
Kate Woodbridge has spent most of her life sailing to exotic
ports around the globe, acquiring an expertise in botany,
along with a few less ladylike skills. So when a deathbed
promise to her parents brings her to London to seek
reconciliation with her grandfather, the imperious Duke of
Cluyne, she feels like a fish out of water. Her outspoken
views and fiery temper tend to set off sparks in
Society-especially with the rakish Conte of Como.
A
devil-may-care rogue, Marco finds the alluring and
mysterious Kate a tempting target for his flirtations. But
when murder strikes at the duke's country house party he
begins to suspect that she's hiding a dark secret. He has
his own clandestine reasons for offering to help her prove
her innocence . . .
And so begins a journey of dangerous
deception that leads from England to the glittering
ballrooms of Vienna, where Marco and Kate must duel with a
deadly villain . . . and their own explosive attraction.
