For James Ryding, life has always been about hardship. James
learned at an early age that those around you are only out
for themselves and only you could truly protect what is
yours. When he begins receiving letters from an old friend
questioning the identity of his Aunt and Uncle Crompton,
James knows that all is not right in London. Disguising
himself as a footman, James is hired on in their household
so that he may investigate who these impostors truly are and
what has happened to the Aunt and Uncle he knew as a boy.
James soon finds himself charming his way into the heart of
their youngest daughter, Blythe. Thinking to use her as a
means to an end, James is in for the ride of his life as he
soon finds that Blythe has charmed her way into his arms and
into his heart. How can he ruin her family to gain his
rightful inheritance without hurting this delicate beauty?
As a new debutant, Blythe longs to marry, but not just any
marriage will do. No Blythe has her cap set for the Duke of
Savoy. A marriage to the Duke will truly secure her
family's place in society and no good daughter would want
to disappoint her parents. However, it is not the Duke who
has captured her attention. Blythe finds that it is the new
footman who sets her heart to pounding! Set out to scheme
against the Duke's daughter, Blythe invents a Prince and
plans to use James to fulfill this roll. However, Blythe
quickly finds herself being swept away by the fantasy man
she has created. Can she truly give up her dreams of a good
marriage and run off with the footman?
An enticing end to this marvelous series! The flames that
sparked between James and Blythe seem to be the stuff of
legends. Throw in some possible murder and mayhem, and this
book fairly gleams. Author Olivia Drake has outdone herself
with this latest scandalous addition!
The youngest of the Crompton heiresses, Blythe yearns to
marry into the aristocracy to bolster her family's place
in society. The widowed Duke of Savoy seems to be the
perfect choice, yet it's another man who sets her heart to
pounding: the new footman, James. He's devilishly handsome
and far more fascinating than any of her noble suitors.
And he alone has the power to stir her romantic dreams.
Little does she know, however, James Ryding is the true
heir to the Crompton fortune. He's posing as a servant in
order to find evidence to prove her parents are imposters.
By charming Blythe, he hopes to use her to regain his
rightful inheritance. But as heat flares between them, he
realizes that fulfilling his quest will mean ruining the
beautiful, spirited woman who has captured his heart.
