James Davies owes a fortune to Kingston Gore the Marquis if Cosgrove. Ten thousand pounds to be exact. It’s enough money to ruin the whole family and put them in the poorhouse. Entirely unable to understand the consequences of his actions, it is a good thing for James and the rest of the Davies that Kingston wants to marry Rosamund, his sister.
Lord Bramwell Johns, second son of a duke, was not the marrying type, but again neither was Kingston Gore. When Bramwell overheard Gore’s interest in marrying Rosamund (from inside the Davies’ house no less) he was intrigued. What sort of female could induce Kingston into the parson’s trap?
Lady Rosamund Davies is exasperated with her brother, suspicious of Bramwell’s sudden interest in her, and leery of Kingston with good reason. Kingston is the fairly typical bad guy without a hint of humanity about him.
He’s one of the more evil bad guy’s I’ve run across – sexually perverse (he enjoys head games and pain), morally corrupt, and capable of anything to get what he wants (Rosamund in this instance).
Good thing Bramwell is on her side as he’s the only one to have played Kingston’s game and successfully disengage from it without dying by his hand or the Marquis’.
The heat between Rosamund and Bramwell was very intense and their encounters sexy. Having finished the book and know what happens in it, I’m very pleased but reading along the way had my heart in my throat as I tried to predict Enoch’s next move through Kingston Gore. Sometimes I was right and other times I was wrong – thank goodness!

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)

I really enjoyed this book. It was my favorite of all the books in the series. Bram was such a great hero and Rose a great heroine. Their chemistry and friendship made me sigh all over the place. Great story!
