Christian de Montford, the Duke of Lexington is uninterested
in the notion of marriage. His is content with his life, yet
once he sets his eyes upon Venetia Easterbrook, he is
immediately ensnared by her beauty. All this time he covets
her, but Christian fails to choose his words wisely when he
says things about Venetia that condemns her publically at a
lecture hall.
These whispered words reach Venetia's ears and she cannot
help but overhear the unpleasant things the Duke of
Lexington is saying about her and her past. Later, she makes
the decision to toy with him, to make him fall in love with
her and then cut him loose. Disguised as the mysterious
Baroness con Seidlitz-Hardenberg, Venetia seduces Christian
on a transatlantic liner. The game turns deadly once Venetia
finds her own feelings interfering with her plan. Soon, it's
no longer the question of how is she going to cut him loose,
but how is she going to make him stay?
BEGUILING THE BEAUTY is an exceptionally well-written,
fascinating story of two people uninterested in the allures
of love and beauty. What started out as an act of revenge
soon becomes an affair to remember. The romance blooms quite
wonderfully even as Thomas withholds several secrets about
each character for most of the book. Deception, mystery and
the promise of something more kept my eyes glue to the
pages. I could not put it down!
Readers will be enticed by the unique premise of BEGUILING
THE BEAUTY
where revenge brings the hero and heroine together, but it
is love and desire that keeps them bound within their hearts.
When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg on a transatlantic liner, he is fascinated.

And then she disappears without a trace… For in reality, the “baroness” is Venetia Easterbrook—a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised—and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked…
