Lady Serena Grantley was born to the nobility but her
stepfather's gambling has led to her acting as a faro's
daughter. She is forced to grace the gambling dens he runs
to draw in fatuous young men so that he can then entice them
to gamble. Serena was in love with Sebastian Sullivan, but
her stepfather forced her to reject him.
Three years later, they return to London where she runs into
Sebastian almost immediately. Sebastian's older brother has
married but to inherit the money from their great uncle,
they must all marry fallen women. Sebastian realizes that
he has never forgotten Serena and he proposes to her.
Serena has reasons for staying with her stepfather but once
she ruins his plans, she plans to leave. Her love for
Sebastian is as strong as ever but she refuses to be part of
something that will bring him down.
Both their plans will be set awry by the actions of her
stepfather. But the love between them will grow and both of
them will take steps to thwart his plans.
The second in the series featuring the Blackwater brothers,
Ms. Feather has written an intriguing book with unexpected
twists and turns. As an avid fan of Ms. Feather's writing,
it was nice to have my high expectations met.
Lady Serena Grantley was born to the nobility, but
fortune's whim placed her in control of her gamester
stepfather, who uses her beauty to lure young men to his
gambling tables. Serena even dismissed her first love, the
Honorable Sebastian Sullivan, at her stepfather's command.
