Description
A RITA award-winning novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of An Unwilling Bride.
 
“Today’s most skillful writer of intelligent historical romance” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) takes readers into the heart of the most mysterious, most powerful, most seductive Georgian aristocrat of them all: the Marquess of Rothgar.
 
Two of the strongest wills in England clash when Lord Rothgar is commanded by the king to escort the fiercely independent Diana Westmount, Countess of Arradale, to London. Though Rothgar has become a master at resisting temptation, Diana proves a challenge to his steely resolve. A moment of peril—and a night of passion—melt his icy self-control, and he must find the strength to surrender his heart to another...
 
“Jo [Beverley] has truly brought to life a fascinating, glittering, and sometimes dangerous world.”—New York Times–bestselling author Mary Jo Putney
 
“Beverley beautifully captures the flavor of Georgian England. . . . Her fast-paced, violent, and exquisitely sensual story is one that readers won’t soon forget.”—Library Journal

“Another triumph.”—Affaire de Coeur

        January 3, 2000
        Beverley (Secrets of the Night) will delight readers with the fifth installment in her series of historical romance novels centered around the Mallorens, a dashing, aristocratic English family. Bey Malloren, the Marquess of Rothgar (who was introduced previously in the series), finds his match in the forward-thinking, sharpshooting Diana Westmount, Countess of Arradale. The wealthy heroine has voluntarily relinquished a future as wife and mother in order to keep control of her money and fully realize her power and rank in 18th-century Yorkshire. When King George III learns of her desire to take a seat in Parliament, he orders her to London with the intention of forcing her into wedlock with an appropriate suitor. Diana finds a traveling companion and unlikely ally in the powerful "Dark Marquess," and her resolve against family life falters. Though Rothgar is mightily attracted to Diana, he has sworn off marriage for fear of passing the curse of his mother's murderous insanity to his own children. The romantic tug-of-war is set against a lively backdrop of international intrigue, although an assassination subplot plays out unevenly. The love story fails to burn bright with emotion, but the intelligence and large-scale appeal of Beverley's characters ensure a satisfying escape.

        At long last Beverley has written the novel that lovers of her dark and bawdy "Malloren Chronicles" have been waiting for--the story of the powerful and enigmatic Marquess of Rothgar and Diana Westmount, the independent and dangerous Countess of Arradale, who finally captures his heart and teaches him to love. From the bloody duel in the opening scene to the gentle, satisfying charm of the final chapter, Beverley beautifully captures the flavor of Georgian England with her accustomed accuracy and flair; combined with a compelling writing style and strong, well-defined characters, her fast-paced, violent, and exquisitely sensual story is one that readers won't soon forget. Beverley, a best-selling romance writer and member of the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame, lives in Canada.
