Dominic Breckland, Viscount Stratfield, came back to life amid the undergarments of Lady Chloe Boscastle. And that just wouldn't do. Caught kissing a baron, she had been banished to the countryside with explicit instructions to stay out of trouble. Having a dead man in her closet did not fit that direction.
Yes. Dominic was dead -- and he planned on staying that way until he got revenge on the man who had arranged for his murder. While he didn't relish the idea of bringing Chloe into his plan, he had little choice in the matter. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the day, it appealed to Chloe's sense of adventure.
But if anyone found out, she would be well and truly ruined in society. After all, kissing a baron was one thing. Consorting with a dead viscount in her underwear would cause her brother Grayson, patriarch of the Boscastles, to lock her away forever.
This second book in the Boscastle trilogy is terrific. Dominic and Chloe scorch the pages, a perfect fit for each other. Chloe, in particular, is a great character with depth and an attractive, charming personality. Read this book -- and don't forget to pick up a copy of the first Boscastle story, THE SEDUCTION OF AN ENGLISH SCOUNDREL. It's Nigel's story and you'll enjoy meeting the whole Boscastle clan. The third book is due in July.
When Chloe Boscastle is caught indiscreetly kissing a man
in a park, her brother Graysonβthe protective patriarch of
the Boscastle familyβsends her off to a country manor to
stay until the scandal in town subsides.
Soon after Chloeβs banishment begins, she is shocked to
learn that her neighbor Dominic Breckland, the devilish
Viscount Stratfield, has been killed in his bed. But she is
even more stunned to discover the dangerously
handsome βvictimβ taking refuge in her lingerie closet one
night. By some miracle Dominic has survived his attackβand
wishes the world to believe him dead. Can the alluring Lady
Chloe keep his secret? Dominic uses all his masculine charm
to persuade her as they work together to unmask his enemy.
Of course, being caught sheltering a seductive scoundrel
could further mar Chloeβs already tarnished reputation.
But, really, whatβs a little scandal to a lady in love?
