About this ebook

Does Anthony's lonely past doom him to a lonely future?

He's never breathed a word of who he was before he ran away from home. Now someone knows who he is.

Worse, brazen David Castle knows what he likes.

Anthony's survived by being what others want him to be. He's given up on finding the grand passion of his dreams. The little girl he took under his wing so long ago has asked for just one more thing: to know the fate of her mother.

David Castle is a terrible rake behind that English rose complexion. He thinks taking his lumps is a fair exchange for having every indulgence Anthony doesn't: family, neighbors, and pleasure wherever he can. He's never left London before, but he's always game for anything; how hard could it be?

When circumstances force Anthony to take David along, they'll both have to decide what would be worse: if they killed each other along the way, or if they fell in love.

Crown of Hearts is a sensual romance between two very different men in 1813 Britain. It can be read as a standalone book, while containing references to events that happened in the previous three books. If you're ready for a rollercoaster ride with these two fellows, take the plunge!

Crown of Hearts is a standalone book! But readers of the Lords and Undefeated Ladies books will meet many of their old friends here, and find answers to many of their questions about Anthony's past as well as his future. David Castle also returns from his original appearance in The Countess Invention and his friendship with the Duchess in What a Duchess Does... and as you may imagine, we will see them in future Judith Lynne books!

"...this story truly shows that love has no bounds - Anthony’s falling in love with all [its] doubts, worries and joys are hopefully something everyone can relate to." - Pauline, Goodreads

Ratings and reviews

this just based on a short sample so it's hard to say but it's a very, very slow start. it may possibly make for good characterization and a good story, plot but one can't tell from a small sample.

About the author

Judith Lynne writes rule-breaking romances with love around every corner. Her characters tend to have deep convictions, electric pleasures, and sometimes, weaponry. She loves to write stories where characters are shaken by love, shaken down to their core, put out their hand... and love is there.

A history nerd with too many degrees, Judith Lynne lives in that other paradise, Ohio, with a truly adorable spouse, an apartment-sized domestic jungle, and a misgendered turtle. Also an award-winning science fiction author and screenwriter, she writes passionate Regency romances with a rich sense of place and time.
