When her late husband's foul traitorous ways endanger her
life, lay Evelyn Renshaw is glad to hire a strong and
handsome footman, even if this particular footman has no
sense of his proper place in the household. More important
is that she protects herself from the ominous Frenchman who
knows too much about her dead husband, and seems to be
looking for some sort of flag. She knows nothing about the
particular item he seeks, only that he intends to kill her,
or worse if she fails to obey his demand.
Captain Sinjon Rutherford is willing to do whatever it takes
to clear his good name; pose as a footman in a dead traitors
home, bow and scrape to the beautiful Lady of the house,
even seduce her dead husband's secrets from her. As he
learns more about her, though he has difficulty believing in
her guilt. She may be as much a victim of circumstance as
himself.
Lecia Cornwall has brought us a delightful historical with a
clever twist within THE PRICE OF TEMPTATION. How can a truly
tonnish lady let her desires for a servant overwhelm her
sensibilities? There is plenty of suspense as well all tied
up in the passionate and forbidden love that may cost Evelyn
and Sinjon anything from their place in society to their
very lives.
Lady Evelyn Renshaw can ignore the disgrace her former
husband has brought down upon her. She can even disregard
the accusations. But when her life is threatened because of
his actions, she realizes a stiff upper lip won't be enough
to keep her safe. So she hires a new footman powerful
enough to protect her...only to find herself shamelessly
intoxicated by his breathtaking masculinity.
Captain Sinjon Rutherford is no footman...but there are
those who believe him a traitor. The only way to prove his
innocence is by playing the part of elegant Lady Evelyn's
servant in order to infiltrate her home and uncover the
truth about her suspicious relations. Yet what seems at
first an easy deception is anything but, once he meets his
alluring new employer and discovers just how tempting a
woman in charge can be...
