About this ebook

She never wanted marriage...

When a friend is forced to consider a marriage of convenience, Lady Amelia Staunton is determined to rescue her. But her plans trap her in an illicit seduction, and Amelia must marry him herself. Malcolm's all-consuming kisses and devilish humor might make up for her lost freedom, but she believes he will force her to abandon the Gothic romances she yearns to write. Since she can't escape him, she must distract him from her secret...

He isn't looking for love...

A powerful autocrat with a well-hidden rebellious streak, Malcolm MacCabe doesn't need another beautiful mistress - he needs an obedient wife. Obedience is not one of Amelia's virtues. But he's too enthralled by her wit and passion to let her go - even if it means risking the political reputation he is building to save his clan.

Their hearts can't survive the scandal...

Despite their intentions, every wicked embrace binds them together. But as their conflicting desires combust into insatiable hunger and unavoidable ruin, they must decide whether to pursue their personal destinies alone - or fight for the love that could destroy them both.

Ratings and reviews

I didn't enjoy Amelia's story at all. The only one out of this series I haven't liked. It feels very out of sync with the style of the rest of the series and Malcolm just reads borderline abusive, ordering her around all the time like he wanted to break her like a horse. Didn't like him at all. Amelia has always been my least favourite of the muses to be fair but she had no personality and no will of her own. I also didn't think it was well written at all. Jerky storytelling, didn't flow well and felt totally disjointed. Only read it so I could see how it fit with the other books of the series.

It made me think about the passion in my own marriage. You can feel the emotions come right off the pages. It is a beautiful book that could have happened. Thank you for the wonderful reading pleasure.

I had a hard time getting into the story, but once I did I could not put it down. The ending was fabulous!

About the author

Hopelessly uncool as a child, Sara Ramsey has overcompensated by becoming obsessed with fashion, shoes, and #regencyworldproblems. She has great taste in Champagne, bad taste in movies, and a penchant for tiaras. She also believes in taking naps, wearing sunglasses at night, and using Oxford commas. Sara currently lives in San Francisco, California, where she can be found drinking overly-artistic lattes and working on her next Regency historical romance.
