"Stalwart Regency romance"
Viscount Trevor Robard, grew up abused by a nasty
father who not only left the man with physical and mental
scars, he wasted the family estate so that the St. Wulfson
heritage is one of decay and depredation. Trevor relishes
his seedy reputation among the Ton as "Sin" though he also
performs the dirty deeds for his country including
assassination.
The Widow Nell Nolan, former mistress to the late
Lord Clonegal, is on a quest of her own. She wants to
confront Lord Routland over the money her deceased spouse
left in his care for her when he died at the battlefield.
Her only avenue to his estate is acting like a whore so
that one of the rakes escorts her. Trevor agrees to take
her to see Routland in exchange for an evening of sex. He
succeeds, she confronts, but she also flees before their
evening together. Trevor plans to collect, but love is a
powerful stimulant.
Award winning Emma Jensen has written a stalwart
Regency romance that will thrill fans due to the lonely
lead couple. The story line engages the audience from
start to finish while showcasing the author's ability to
refresh sub-genre elements. The keys remain Trevor and
Nell who defy polite society that would prefer to flush
them away. Ms. Jensen has another humdinger of a novel
that will brighten the day of her innumerable fans.
