Lucy is sure she will eventually marry Eustace Penweeble, the vicar of Maiden Hill, if he ever gets around to asking her, and life will continue to be nothing but ordinary. When she discovers a man in a ditch with no clothes on and near death, she feels excitement she's never felt before.
Viscount Simon Iddesleigh has one purpose and that is to seek revenge on his brother's killers. Lucy is an unexpected diversion he simply can not have, but he's unable to stay away from her much less keep his hands off her. Lucy is ecstatic when Simon proposes marriage, but she has no idea what he does when he slips away at night. His need for revenge just may be the end of their chance at true happiness.
This is a passionate love affair that will capture your heart and leave you wanting more. The intensity of attraction the characters have for each other is so entrancing, I was eager to turn each page to discover more. I highly recommend THE SERPENT PRINCE.
Country bred Lucy Craddock-Hayes is content with her quiet life. Until the day she trips over an unconscious man - a naked unconscious man - and loses her innocence forever.
Viscount Simon Iddesleigh was nearly beaten to death by his enemies. Now he's hell-bent on vengeance. But as Lucy nurses him back to health, her honesty startles his jaded sensibilities - even as it ignites a desire that threatens to consume them both.
Charmed by Simon's sly wit, urbane manners, and even his red- heeled shoes, Lucy falls hard and fast for him. Yet as his honor keeps him from ravishing her, his revenge sends his attackers to her door. As Simon wages war on his foes, Lucy wages her own war for his soul using the only weapon she has - her love.
