The most dangerous and desirable man in all of England, Nikolas burns to possess Emma Stokehurst, but the proud, headstrong beauty is promised to another. Still, there are no limits to how far the wealthy, bitter exile will go to win her exquisite hand - though owning Emma’s body, but not her love, will do nothing to fill the empty spaces in his heart.
But Nikolas’s destiny awaits him elsewhere, as passion’s magic transports him to a different place - a land of splendor and romantic dreams. For only there can he experience true ecstasy in one remarkable woman’s tender touch - achingly familiar yet gloriously new - and learn, at last, to love.
Two Reviews…”This is one of her older and least favorite books. It was confusing in parts but ended well. Maybe there is something about Russians and romance that seems incongruous to me.”
“I admit I was liking the story a lot up until it backtracked to 170 years before that point in time and the hero began to live as his great, great, grandfather. It was too much time devoted to reliving the past for my taste… It ended up being such a sweet story that I almost felt my heart skip a beat. Susan Duerden was also as amazing as always. A definite must have.”
Publishers Weekly—“ For some 100 pages–practically a novella–Kleypas deserts the main point to plague us with this ancestor’s tragic love story, which is intended to teach Nikki a lesson. Kleypas’s style is clear and uncomplicated. If one can forgive the flashback (most easily done by skipping it), then the rest of the book is a treat.”
Note—This is the original edition of the novel. Not the “updated”, that is, sanitized politically correct version for the “me too” generation. Review of the new version praise Rosalyn Landor but find the revisions awkward and clumsy work-arounds.
