Romance Historical

Lily Lambert's dreams consist of marriage, a home to call her own and children a plenty. Unfortunately, Lily must work for a living before finding true happiness, which brings her to Lord Penworth and his predicament. John Middleton, Lord Penworth, is an overbearing snob who's having the most difficult time keeping companions for his 18-year-old wards; they either run off or he has to fire them. But Miss Lily Lambert seems to be able to hold her own, and she is possibly his last chance. John explains his situation to Lily, but the unexpected happens when she declines the position. John is shocked, since no one has ever done so before. He is unable to explain his next actions, but Lily's refusal to take the position sets him off and he refuses to allow her to escape. DREAMS OF DESIRE is the third book in the Sensual Destiny series by Cheryl Holt and once again, the characters are witty and endearing with a storyline made for happy endings. A great read!

SUMMARY

Every instinct is telling Lily Lambert to run from Penworth Hall as fast as she can, but there is something about handsome, daunting John Middleton, Earl of Penworth, that keeps her in his employ. It certainly isn't his twin wards, evil little vixens who will do anything in their power to have Lily fired as their chaperone. And the love potion isn't helping. Lily bought it in desperation, hoping to marry so she could escape her lot in life as governess and companion to the spoiled offspring of the nobility. On a voyage to John's Scottish estate, Lily sips the potion while gazing at the ship's captain, only to come face-to-face with John, who seems to be instantly smitten. Now, in the locked rooms and dark alcoves of his Scottish castle, John traps Lily in moment of impropriety, bringing a flush to her fair cheeks and igniting an indecent longing in her body. Only time will tell if the potion's impossible promise will ruin Lily — or set her free...
