One of our all time favourite authors, Loretta Chase delivers another utterly romantic, humourous and passionate novel featuring an incredibly mismatched pair. After surviving the perils of Egypt, Peregrine Dalmay, Earl of Lisle, is back in London, facing the most dire threat of all: his irrational family and Miss Olivia Wingate-Carsington. A descendant of notorious but very aristocratic swindlers, the delectable redhead has the ability to completely unhinge him and a long history of dragging him into her scandalous schemes.
Olivia may be Society's darling, but she's aware a respectable future looms menacingly and so when Lisle is forced to go on a family mission, she sees this as the perfect chance for one last adventure, even if it is with the one man in the world she can't wrap around her finger. But really, she only wants to help. Which is why Lisle and Olivia find themselves in a gloomy Scottish castle inhabited by spiteful ghosts and craven murderers and a shocking secret: the greatest peril of all may be burning within their own stubborn hearts.
Excerpt: The crowd was so thick that at first all the Earl of Lisle could see was the fashionably absurd coiffure rising above the men’s heads. Two birds of paradise seemed to have their beaks stuck into a great loop of red hair. Very red hair.
Only one girl in all the world had that hair.
Well, then, no surprise to find Olivia at the center of a crowd of men. She had rank and a thumping great dowry. That would more than make up for . . .
The crowd parted then, giving him a full view. She turned his way and he stopped short.
He’d forgotten.
Those great blue eyes.
For a moment he stood, lost in a blue as deep as an Egyptian evening sky.
Then he blinked, and took in the rest, from the ridiculous birds hanging over the stiff loops of red hair to the pointed slippers peeping out from under the ruffles and furbelows at the hem of her pale green gown.
Then his gaze went up again, and his brain slowed to a crawl. |
