Baron William Enton seeks oblivion in alcohol since his
wife's death at the hands of highwaymen and thieves. Their
union was not a happy one. William imitated his parents'
marriage by showing coldness instead of passion. Alcohol
dulls his wits until, at the wedding a dear friend, William
sees the joy and happiness he so desires. In a drunken
stupor, William enters the dangerous slum of Darktowne
seeking vengeance. Attacked and left unconscious, William
awakens in a thieves' den with a beautiful blonde angel.
Darktowne, a place where hopelessness reigns, is the home
of the cool and impervious Princess. Cruel circumstances
and fate have landed her in this hell. Princess, known only
as Poke's woman, resides with Poke's minions of thieves and
murderers. She uses her cold demeanor to outwit Poke and
protect the weaker and wounded ones. Princess knows her
time is limited as Poke will tire of baiting her and
dispose of her.
With the arrival of a wounded drunk, Princess understands
she cannot trust him, but his eyes are filled with pain
that draws her to him. William acknowledges the attraction
and shuns the allure of the bottle, instead choosing life.
Princess and William forge a truce as they meet true evil
and battle for their souls.
In this final book of the Princess trilogy, Ms. Greiman
tells a dark and emotionally moving story that will leave
tears in readers' eyes. Princess and William are strong but
wounded characters, who are unforgettable as they fight the
horrors surrounding them. Once again, Ms. Greiman proves
she's an extraordinary storyteller.
The light of love glows in the darkness...
The desire for revenge sent William Enton, third baron of
Landow, into Darktowne to punish those who destroyed
everything precious in his life. But this infamous lair of
robbers and cutthroats is no place for a gentleman. And
when he wakes after being set upon by brigands, a golden-
haired angel is tending to his wounds.
They call her "Princess," and royalty she must be, for
never has bearing and beauty been so perfectly blended in
one woman. But her tender touch masks a hardness born of
the streets; she is indeed the princess of thieves -- and
answerable only to the brutal kingpin who holds everyone in
Darktowne in his sway. Now only a brazen masquerade can
keep William alive and bring him closer to this exquisite
enchantress. For his mission is suddenly clear: to melt the
frozen heart of the lady who has miraculously brought him
alive again . . . and to set her free with passion and
boundless love.
