New York Times bestselling author, CHERYL HOLT, will sweep readers away with the first novel in her new and breathtaking βLord Trentβ trilogyβ¦
With the death of his older brother, Michael Wainwright, Viscount Henley, has become heir to his father, Duke of Clarendon. The Wainwright men are renowned cads, and as his brotherβs will is read, itβs discovered that he sired an illegitimate son and has left the eight-year-old boy his entire fortune. Michael decides to bring the boy to London so he can be showered with all the wealth and status guaranteed by his inheritance. But first, he has to gain custody from the boyβs aunt, who is determined to keep her nephew away from Michaelβs dissolute family.
Frances βFannyβ Carrington has always lived in a small village in the country. As a newborn, she was left in a basket on the church steps and raised by the vicar and his wife. But theyβve died, and Fanny is in dire straits, struggling to raise her nephew, to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. When she begins to receive correspondence from Michael, asking for custody, she canβt help but be suspicious. For years, the Wainwrights have refused to claim her nephew or provide financial assistance to him. Sheβs alarmed by their sudden interest. What can it mean?
As Michael finally meets Fanny, their attraction is swift, blatant, and dangerous. He canβt fight the need to have her at any cost, and gradually, he lures her into his decadent life of affluence and privilege. But sheβs never possessed the callous nature required to thrive in the cut-throat world of the aristocracy, so she could never understand the peril she faces from those who would do anything to keep them apartβ¦
