Almost a quarter of a century old and still no hero worthy
of her in sight! Like the other independent minded Cynster
women in her family, Heather was a beauty and wanted to
marry just the right man. But, time was marching on and
she was not marching down the wedding aisle. Bound and
determined to explore other venues than the ones her
protective family normally would attend, Heather
determinedly goes unescorted to a salon at Lady Hereford's
whose parties are known to be a wee bit more indiscreet
and in fact, are a downright den of wicked scandalous
goings on. Despite having a reputation as being one of
London's top rakes, when Timothy Danvers, Viscount
Breckenridge, saw his distant cousin there, he made sure to
propel her out the door as quickly as possible. While
normally he would have enjoyed sparring and doing battle
with Heather, he knew he would have to account to her older
brothers if her reputation was sullied in any way.
Ruffed and miffed from his unceremonious intervention,
Heather insists with grim determination that he not escort
her to her carriage which she felt was only a short
distance away. Unexpectedly, as she almost reaches her
carriage, she is snatched off the London street and is
suddenly pulled into another coach and taken away.
Still being protective, the Viscount had stayed outside to
watch Heather leave and sees the incident. He dashes down
to save her, but is too late to reach her. So, evening
clothes be damned, he immediately sets off in pursue of the
kidnappers. Yet, when is is finally able to attempt to
rescue her, Heather has other plans. Can they take the
risk and stall the rescue? Who wants to kidnap her and why
no ransom?
With this first book as the start of a new series, New York
Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens brings to full
bloom some previous well liked characters in The Cynster
Sisters Trilogy. As Laurens outlines for the series, the
story is simple: three heroes, three rescues, and three
weddings.
Given that, what is spellbinding and intriguing are the
unexpected twists and turns, the intelligent strategies of
the kidnappers and the mystery of the mastermind behind the
kidnapping as they play cat and mouse to outwit the others.
The character development is amusing as Heather and Timothy
have to accommodate each other in order to outmaneuver
those who work against them. With the author's superior
talent for historical research to make an authentic voice
and feel to the story, the early 19th century comes alive
in the details and the reader is instantly pulled into the
story. Laurens is equally well known for her sizzling and
sensuous romance scenes and Heather manages to find many
opportunities for varied dalliances along the way. Fans,
new and existing, are sure to enjoy and be captivated
by this daring and dashing rescue by Viscount Breckenridge!
Those eager to dance into the next rescue will be thrilled
to know the second book is now available with the final in
the trilogy to be released globally in January 2012! A
tempting and harrowing romance series not to be missed!
