Paperback; 300p

Genre: Historical/Romantic Suspense



Haro Emison, thrust into his new role as Earl of Anglesford, discovers that his late father has left the family teetering on the edge of financial ruin. Intent on rescuing the estate, Haro abandons his long-held interest in his cousin Eda and searches instead for a wealthy heiress. But when pride and jealousy cause his plan to spiral out of control, he begins to wonder if he has made a dreadful mistake….

Eda Swanycke is enjoying her first season in London when her debut comes to a crashing halt. Jilted by her cousin, she suffers the indignity of watching Haro’s new intended lay claim to his person and position. But when a brutal murder upends the household with Haro as chief suspect, Eda must put her wounded pride aside, match wits with the investigator from London, and try, at all costs, to save Haro Emison’s neck from the gallows….

Five Stars

Copy received from Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours for an honest review

I love historical romance so this was an easy five stars.  Haro and Eda were a fantastic hero and heroine.  I also loved the tension between them.  I love the Regency era and I thought that Lortz was able to make it come alive and transport me to it.  Since I read a lot of romance I've been jaded by some stories but I find Ms. Lortz's to be refreshing and engaging. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
