Summary / Synopsis
I don’t want visitors. But when the butler says the caller is a she, I spring to attention. The night just got a lot more interesting.
Turns out the recently orphaned Helia Wallace has come to see my mother, her godmother, for help with a dastardly, dowry-chasing cousin. A likely story. But there’s a snowstorm brewing, and she begs me to let her stay the night. I reluctantly agree.
It’s her reputation at stake, not mine.
With the duke and duchess wintering elsewhere, Horace House is all mine. I’m free to do whatever I want. And what I want is Helia. The Marquess of Wingrave and virgins don’t typically mix, but this one’s different—too bad I could ruin her forever.
My Takes
This is such a dark historical romance. It is written deliciously, and on audio, the dual voices take it to another level. If you like morally gray mmc's, grumpy x sunshine, and spicy-to-the-max historical romances. This one is for you!
