Fleeing from unknown assailants, Sabrina leads them away
from her family's camp. The law will not help her as they
consider all gypsies criminals. These pursuers are
persistent, and Sabrina does not understand their
relentless pursuit of her. Sabrina stumbles upon a
gentleman who aides her in her flight. Knocked unconscious
by the villains, she awakens to find herself in the
nobleman's bed. She escapes one danger, only to find
herself in peril with an outsider.
Anthony Kennington, the third Viscount Hastings, rescues a
vibrant gypsy from villains and consigns her to his bed
until she recovers from the blow to her head. The Hastings
home is under siege for his younger sister's debut ball, so
Anthony realizes he can safely hide his gypsy with no one
the wiser. As a rogue with a passion for the ladies, he
finds that Sabrina offers a different challenge. She
enflames his blood, but honor forbids him seducing her
while she's recuperating.
Always seen by outsiders as a dirty gypsy, Sabrina finds
herself drawn to this man who treats her like a queen.
Anthony protects her and tries to discover the reason
someone wishes to harm her. The sparks of romance fly, but
Anthony faces severe consequences from his family and
society if he continues with this forbidden love.
Alexandra Benedict debuts with a well-written
typical love story that distinguishes itself with its
atypical ending. The protagonists each lose something
precious if they choose love over duty.
Sinfully decadent Anthony Kennington, Viscount Hastings,
lives for pleasure -- and he rues the day when he must wed
and produce an heir. But he is not a man who runs from
danger, and when he chances upon an enchanting gypsy maiden
in the woods hounded by bandits, he leaps to her defense.
Now, surely, there is but one place for the injured and
unconscious lovely to properly recuperate: in his bed.
Sabrina is shocked when she awakens in an opulent
bedchamber, nursed in every way by a dashing gentleman. She
knows she must leave the haven of Anthony's home at once,
even though her life is still in grave danger -- though a
different kind of peril awaits her in the viscount's arms.
If Sabrina surrenders to this handsome rogue, she will be
an outcast. Yet does she dare ignore the future that's
written on his palm -- the promise of a shared lifetime of
love and ecstasy?
