“Begging your pardon, my lord, but when I was unpacking the trunk you shipped from Portugal, I found this envelope at the bottom.” He held it out. There was no one around any longer to reel Mother in. And she was worse than ever now that Father was dead and Clarissa had married one of his childhood friends-Edwin Barlow, the Earl of Blakeborough. Mother still didn’t know the meaning of being on time. This was his first time in town since his pardon and subsequent return to England a month ago, but some things never changed. Impatiently, Niall paced the drawing room of the Margrave town house, waiting for his mother to be ready so they could go to dinner at Clarissa’s.
So having to rely on him to save her father is the last thing she wants, much less trusts him with.But as their scheme strips away the lies and secrets of their shared past, can she let go of the old hurt and put her pride aside? Or will the pleasures of their renewed passion finally enable them both to rediscover love? Excerpt But as his role as Brilliana’s fake fiancé brings his long-buried feelings to the surface once again, he wonders who is more dangerous-the counterfeiter or the woman rapidly stealing his heart.įorced to marry another man after Niall was exiled, the now widowed Brilliana wants nothing to do with the reckless rogue who she believes abandoned her to a dreary, loveless life. And being blackmailed by the government into working with his former love to help catch a counterfeiter connected to her father doesn’t improve his mood any. Seven years and one pardon later, Niall returns to England disillusioned and cynical. To his shock, she does neither and sends him off with no promise for the future.
When Niall Lindsey, the Earl of Margrave, is forced to flee after killing a man in a duel, he expects his secret love, Brilliana Trevor, to go with him, or at the very least wait for him. Complete with the signature charm, “delectably witty dialogue…and scorching sexual chemistry” ( Booklist) she is known for, New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries is back with the fourth romance in the Sinful Suitors series!
