CHERYL HOLT dazzles readers once again with another tale of soaring romance and breathtaking drama as she delivers the second novel in her critically-acclaimed βLord Trentβ trilogy.
Helen Stewart never understood whyβas a tiny girlβshe and her twin sister Harriet were sent away to boarding school and never allowed home for holidays. At age sixteen, they were shocked to discover that they are the illegitimate daughters of the notorious rogue, Charles Sinclair. Cast out by their relatives, they moved to London, and Helen has made a life for herself as a ladyβs companion. In her line of employment, she must maintain a stellar reputation, but sheβs exhausted by the fussy whims of the debutantes sheβs forced to chaperone. Sheβd give anything to change her fate.
James Harcourt, Earl of Westwood, is in a bind. After his father died, he learned that his estates were bankrupt. He gambles to replenish his coffers so heβs living a dissolute bachelorβs life. When his female ward arrives unexpectedly for an extended visit, he must protect her from scandal by hiring a ladyβs companion. When pretty, alluring Helen interviews for the position, heβs instantly smitten. She possesses the qualifications to fill a much more intimate role.
He shocks her by suggesting she become his mistress, and when his offer is rebuffed, he begins a cunning seduction, aimed at wearing her down. Helen canβt resist the temptation he offers, but she doesnβt have the sophistication to survive in his world. And as James immerses them in a dangerous spiral of pleasure and excitement, he proves that he is determined to have her at any costβ¦
