Product Description
Rapscallion! Rake! Wanderer! Adventurer! - All accusations that the Earl of Treyford admits with pride. The scandalous son of a disgraced mother, he has no time for the pretty niceties of the Ton, nor the simpering debutantes that populate its ballrooms. He ahs come back to England to aid an ageing spinster facing an undefined danger. But Miss Latimer's thick eyelashes and long ebony hair, her fascinating mix of knowledge and innocence arouse far more than his protective instincts. Can such an improper aristocrat learn to be the true gentleman that Miss Latimer deserves?

Format:Paperback
Gripping story with a cool ending.
Complex with Eygpt slipping into the story. Characters were written to add texture and colour to the story.

Accidental Intent
13 Mar 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Earl of Treyford, 'Trey', was both spent and tired. While on a dig in Egypt his partner, Richard, was killed. Trey made a deathbed promise to return a scarab adornment to the young man's sister and, at the same time, promising to protect her. Preparing for an older spinster he was taken aback when he finally returned to England and met the beautiful Chione.
With an undertow of suspense this unusual Regency romance avoids the typical 'ton' of London. Instead, we have a mishmash of characters with some humorous moments that infiltrate the dusky tapestries and gloomy halls of an overworn estate. Bouncy back and forth, you feel the sexual tension that Trey and Chione feel.
It all adds to the chase of some very unsavory characters that want them dead. The pace of reading this romance is fast. There are enough nibbles of mystery to keep most everyone intrigued. If you are young and new to this genre or find older narratives from this era somewhat dry, this romance with some risque moments might interest you. I found it refreshing.

More like an Adventure!

The book was a fascinating read. I have not read a romance since I was a teenager and this book might just bring me back!! I liked the book because of the middle eastern flair, the legend and the mysterious elements. I would love to read a sequel of Chione's return to her homeland!

An Improper Aristocrat
28 Oct 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a great read. A different historical setting and we spend very little time in London. So nice to see something out of the mainstream. Love the characters and a great mystery to solve.
