About this listen

Guy Fortescue comes to England to claim his inheritance, Rosecroft Hall, abandoned over 30 years ago when his father fled to France after killing a man in a duel. But England proves to be a dangerous place - someone wants Guy dead. As Guy seeks to discover who lies behind the attacks on his life, he arranges a faux betrothal with Miss Horatia Cavendish.

Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan. An aspiring poet, Hetty proves to have a mind of her own, but in spite of that, Guy finds her far too alluring.

Headstrong and lovely, Hetty agrees to the betrothal because it allows her to go to London, where she can attend literary societies with her aunt. While her affection for Guy grows deeper, she must not forget the betrothal isn't real. Guy will choose a bride from the beau monde - it will not be a colonel's daughter from Digswell.

But Hetty is soon drawn into Guy's life more and more, and not entirely against her will. He is handsome and brave, and the attraction between them is undeniable. Soon, she can no longer resist her desire for him, and the fact that someone is out to kill him only feeds her innate protectiveness of the man she is betrothed to.

The plot worked well in this novel and the hero and heroine were a little unusual from the normal run of things so I thoroughly enjoyed this narrative and look more to listening to the author’s books.

Another Great Story

The story moved along well. original storyline. Narration was a little sing song and bad French accent. OK book for a cheapie.

Good Story

The first kiss was non consensual and that annoyed me - it’s disrespectful on many levels -I stoped listening after that.

I liked it and then I didn’t
