"Julie Anne Long reinvents the historical romance for modern
readers." --Amanda Quick
From USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long comes the second
book in an exciting new historical romance series, the first since her
beloved Pennyroyal Green series.
He has devil's blood in his veins. At least, that's always been the
legend. How else could the Duke of Brexford's notorious bastard son
return from the dead? The brutal decade since Lucien Durand, Lord Bolt,
allegedly drowned in the Thames forged him into a man who always gets
what--and who--he wants. And what he wants is vengeance for his stolen
birthright . . . and one wild night in Angelique Breedlove's bed.
Angelique recognizes heartbreak when the enigmatic Lord Bolt walks into
The Grand Palace on the Thames, and not even his devastating charm can
tempt her to risk her own ever again. One scorching kiss drives home the
danger.
But in the space between them springs a trust that feels anything but
safe. And the passion--explosive, consuming--drives Lucien to his knees.
Now his whole life depends on proving his love to a woman who doesn't
believe in it . . . because his true birthright, he now knows, is
guardian of Angelique Breedlove's heart.
