In 1817, widower Lord Dorian and his brother Lord Simon, a
solider discuss a play staring the notoriously beautiful
Cecilia St Lys. Simon despises her, while Dorian adored
her. Their mother had invited the wealthy Sir Lucas Tinsley
and his daughter Lucasta to the theater. After the show,
Lord Dorian, their mother, & Lucasta go back stage to visit
with Cecilia St Lys. Lord Simon stays behind to talk
business with Sir Lucas.
The Royal Prince owes Sir Lucas money...he makes a deal with
Lord Simon. If Lord Simon can retrieve a necklace he had
given to Cecilia St Lys because she had failed to sleep with
him, he would ignore the Prince's debt. After speaking
with Cecilia, she confirms that she did receive the necklace
and that she was planning to sell the necklace to raise
money for the Foundlings Home.
Cecilia St Lys and Lord Simon have a past. Years
earlier they were an item. Cecilia had left Lord Simon for
the late Armand, because he had offered her marriage when
Simon did not. But neither had really gotten over the other.
But Lord Dorian has his eyes set on Cecilia. But Cecilia can
not be a mistress to the man she always thought of as a
father figure. Lord Dorian was shocked to find out that
Cecilia St Lys is the Sarah Hartley that he was told died
while he was away. He even visited her grave. Instead, she
was sent to Ireland at the age of 14 to wed a much older
man. As Lord Dorian vows to protect her, he cuts off his
mother and shocks his brother Lord Simon, who finds he is
still and has always been in love with Cecilia.
Tamara Lejeune writes a great novel with a variety of
characters and a twisting plot that will have the reader
drawn into the book and not able to put it down.
Celia St. Lys has risen
above the secrets of her past and transformed herself into
the most beautiful and gifted actress on the London stage.
Her glamorous career is the love of her life, and she deftly
eludes the clutches of her many suitors. But even she can’t
deny the lure of one roguish theatre patron. In her game of
feigned seduction, she may have finally met her match…
Except In The Bedroom
In order to claim
his inheritance, Lord Simon Ascot must find a proper bride.
And there’s certainly nothing proper about the fiery actress
who’s turning the head of every well-born man in London. As
Simon and Celia resist both decorum and lust, they’ll find
there’s pleasure to be had in wanting what they cannot have…
