Lord Hawkhurst has been away from England for years, longing to forget the deaths of his wife and son. To become the next leader of the renowned Guardians of the Sword he must marry a woman he doesn't love, but he's not sure he has any love to give, so the match suits him just fine.
Lady Skye Wilde is determined to find her true love, and believes Lord Hawkhurst could very well be the one. She devices a plan to seduce him, but knows earning his love won't be easy because he plans on marrying another. Skye is stubborn though, and will not give up her happily ever after without a fight.
Nicole Jordan's SECRETS OF SEDUCTION, the third book in her Legendary Lovers series, is humorous, seductive, and romantic. Lady Skye is strong willed and conniving, yet her scheme to seduce Lord Hawkhurst is well intentioned, and at times completely comical. Hawk is just as strong willed, and tries his hardest not to let Skye into his heart. His grief is palpable, and as he starts to find happiness again his wit and charm returns.
The added story of Skye's Uncle Cornelius and Lady Farnwell adds a plot twist and an exciting climax to SECRETS OF SEDUCTION. Other secondary characters such as Lady Isabella and Mrs. Nibbs help round the story out, and keep it moving.
The passion between Skye and Hawk is both romantic and steamy, and readers will hope they fall in love from the very beginning. Jordan has written a romantic love story with just the right amount of humor to make SECRETS OF SEDUCTION a fun and enjoyable read.
