Romance Erotica Sensual | Romance Historical

Anne Beddington has not lived a happy life. From one struggle to another she has not been shown much kindness. The only kindness she can remember is that of a gentleman who told her not to sell herself at so young an age. Not that it helped any, but he was kind. When faced with sacrificing herself to save some children from her fate, Anne struck out. Then she ran. Now Anne has a chance to save herself and the gentleman who showed her compassion years ago. Forced to make quick decisions, Anne will change her name and lose herself in this dangerous game. However, she did not count on the game coming to life, her feelings being true, and finding its way into her heart.

The Duke of March, Devon, has secluded himself off from the world. Returning from war a hero he is now blind and lost in nightmares of war. He does not want company, he does not even want the charming woman sent to be his distraction. And if he keeps telling himself that he may one day believe it. Cherise is everything that Devon desires, if only he could see her. He has grown accustomed to her signs, her reading, and to her very presence. Only to discover that the woman he desires as his mistress is a fraud. Swept into a take of murder and mystery Devon will do everything in his power to get what he desires. He will stop at nothing to have Anne, one way or another.

ENGAGED IN SIN is a magnificent tale full of deceit, murder, mystery, and romance. Sharon Page knows how to keep the reader on the edge of the seat and she knows how to put the steam in romance. Sizzling scenes will leave you breathless, deep heart ache will have you longing for more, and then you will notice that the story is just beginning. The depths to Anne's character were truly astonishing. Page did not leave any harsh realities out of this woman's life and left them all on the pages for anyone to see. I thought that the reality of Anne was one of the best I have ever read. She was not the ideal heroine, quite the opposite in fact. She was hurt, she was forced to fall, and she was ready to accept the consequences on her own. Fortunately, for us, Anne had Devon, a wonderful hero willing to do whatever it took to keep her. Devon was just as heart wrenching as Anne. His life had all but been destroyed by the hardships of war. He was strong, enduring, and everything that a hero should be. I absolutely loved their story. The plot kept the story going and I did not feel that it was overrun with romance as other books are. I think that Ms. Page presents a very accurate depiction of life in London during this time period and its accuracy made the story all the richer for it!

SUMMARY

Discover the wild and dangerous side of Regency England, where no one is innocent from temptation — and where one daring noblewoman is about to risk everything for a passion that will ignite the greatest scandal of all…

Lovely Anne Beddington is in a desperate situation: on the run for a crime she didn’t commit. Anne understands the wicked games she must play to survive, but has she sufficiently mastered the art of seduction to become the mistress of the notorious Duke of March, Devon Audley? War has left Devon a recluse, but Anne needs a powerful gentleman’s protection.

Anne’s delicate hands hold a healing touch, but it’s her gentle kindness that opens the duke’s eyes to the beauty around him and to a family who need him. Still, Anne is a mystery, and Devon intends to spend endless erotic hours uncovering her secrets. When he finds out the terrible truth about the devious plot to brand her a villainess and endanger her life, will saving Anne become his salvation?
