About this ebook

In this Regency-era romance, a nobleman in hiding considers a return to society when he falls for the lady under his protection.

A scarred mercenary . . . Or the Disappearing Duke of Greybourne?

Rafe has spent years running from his true identity. He’s a lone wolf, living far from aristocratic England and his violent father. Then unconventional Cleopatra Osbourne requests his protection as she crosses the Egyptian desert. In Cleo he discovers a fellow outcast—and a fierce desire! Cleo must return to London, and here lies Rafe’s dilemma—because following his heart means claiming the title he’s avoided for so long!

Ratings and reviews

A historical romance to savor! Witty dialogue, amazing characters and a setting that comes alive with the engaging writing of Lara Temple! It does not get much better than this and once I started there was no stopping until the last page! Egypt, Cleopatra (Miss Queen of the Nile), handsome scarred hero Grey, wait, did I say he was handsome? Green grey eyes, tall, very witty, and ready to help Cleo on her quest with his trusty side kick Birdie. She was on the run to get away from the villains and he was going to help her. Loved this journey of Cleo and Grey and cannot wait to read more! One of my favorites this year!

About the author

. Lara Temple writes strong and sensual Regency romances about complex individuals who give no quarter but do so with plenty of passion. She lives with her husband, two children, and one very fluffy dog and they are all very understanding about her taking over the kitchen table so she can look out over the garden as she writes and dreams up her Happy Ever Afters.
