Lady Francesca desperately wants to gain custody of her
niece, lest the girl fall under the guardianship of the
embodiment of the "evil stepmother." She seeks a man who
can help her achieve her goal only to find that Edward has
already hired him. Edward is the love interest in the
story and not the most approachable man. He can be hard to
get along with and appears like a brick wall at times.
However, Francesca is in luck. Edward has recently suffered
what can only be deemed a scandal and will need her help to
get himself out of it.
Francesca is an admirable character, a strong female lead in
all respects (especially for a romance novel). She is
compassionate, daring, and kind. The reader will wonder
whether or not she can melt Edward's stony heart.
The events of this book are filled with action, drama, and
intrigue. The ending is ideal, but the reader cannot ask
for more.
Neither wealth nor beauty will help Lady Francesca Gordon
win custody of her young niece Georgina, saving the girl
from a cruel stepmother; she needs London’s top solicitor
for that. But when Edward de Lacey, son of the powerful Duke
of Durham, hires away the one man who can do the job,
Francesca decides Edward himself must champion her case . .
. if only she can melt the dashing lord’s stony heart.
Edward has reason to be guarded, though. London’s tabloids
have just exposed a secret that could ruin his entire
family. When Francesca offers a unique chance to undo the
damage, Edward is forced to agree to a partnership . . . and
now, each moment together feeds the flames of his scandalous
longing for the passionate widow. But when Georgina
disappears, fate will test them both . . . and leave their
love hanging in the balance.
