Christian Allardyce, 6th Marquess of Dearne had his heart broken by Lady Letitia Randall, while he was fighting for his country in France. When a note from her comes asking for his help, he’s intrigued and knows he won’t turn her down. He’s realized it will be the perfect opportunity for revenge.
Letitia has always believed he betrayed her at a time of desperate need, but knows she can trust him to help. In her heart she still loves him but has no intention of him knowing how much. When he bargains with a kiss, she plays along, in fact she’ll do almost anything to save her brother from the hangman’s noose.
To clear her brother’s name will take a miracle, but Christian has many weapons at his disposal as he leads the street runner a merry dance around London. He’s also waging war on the romance front and he’ll do almost anything, to get and keep Letitia in his bed for ever and he knows exactly how to stroke her desire.
THE EDGE OF DESIRE, takes the reader on an exciting journey of very hot sex, intrigue, gambling dens, tea parties, balls and soirĂ©e’s. This is an edge of the seat romp through the ton, with a large cast of characters as they try to catch a murderer. Christian and the men he waged war beside help him search for clues to who killed Mr. George Randall. Some have their own hidden secrets, but with the knowledge they all share, added to sheer determination, the killer doesn’t stand a chance, or does he?
With secret rooms, codes and well hidden bank accounts they become sidetracked at times. But once they all realize Randall wasn’t the man the world of the ton saw, the puzzle deepens. From slums to mansions and art lovers to those who crave nothing more than money, the author has built a great plot. The sex scenes are great, pulling the reader into the heart of the love affair with ease. This tale is colorful reading, so if you like spicy romance added to suspense it’s recommended.
