Romance Historical

Lady Rhea Claire and Dante Leighton have returned to England newly married. Now that Dante has reclaimed his title he has become a target for the smuggler who took his family home. The two lovers must fight for their love as Dante's life is in danger and Rhea Claire's father openly rejects their marriage.

DARK BEFORE THE RISING SUN is the third book in Laurie McBain's Dominick trilogy. Rhea Claire is resourceful and charming, and her love for Dante will have readers hoping for a happy ending. Dante's love for Rhea is beautifully written and readers of the first two books will still find him a pleasant romance hero. The secondary characters are witty and enjoyable, and the antagonist is dangerous and deceitful. The secrets keep the suspense and excitement going throughout the story. McBain writes a lovely setting that helps to set the tone of the story, and the romance is sweet and steamy.

DARK BEFORE THE RISING SUN is an epic romance with lots of secrets and suspense with an unexpected ending that will pleasantly surprise ending.

SUMMARY

"Now you can see how easily an ill-spoken word can cast doubt on or even destroy the feelings we thought inviolate," Dante warned her. "Never let anyone turn you against me, Rhea. Promise me that." Newly-wed, Lady Rhea Claire and Dante Leighton must return to England, where their reception is anything but warm. Now armed with wealth and power, Dante is a target for the murderous smugglers who despoiled his family home, while Rhea's father, the powerful Duke of Camareigh, vehemently rejects their marriage. The two lovers thought themselves invincible together. But in the riveting conclusion of McBain's epic trilogy, Dante's determination to reclaim his family seat and Rhea's desperation to win over her father threaten to cause an insurmountable rift that could break them apart forever.
