Life has taught Lucas Kendrick, Duke of Harndon, that a heart is a decided liability. Betrayed by his brother, rejected by his fiancée, Luke fled to Paris, where he became the most sought-after bachelor in fashionable society. Ten years later, fate has brought him back home, to the rescue of the very people who had once shunned him. Luke is amused by the advice that a wife will make his takeover of both the title and the family estate smoother, but amusement turns to desire once he sets eyes upon Lady Anna Marlowe. Unbeknownst to Luke, Anna is also no stranger to pain, but her suffering can't be so easily overcome, not when her tormentor stalks her to the very doors of Bowden Abbey. Luke and Anna, each made fragile by the past, must learn to trust both each other and their love if they are to have any chance for a future together

I didn't so much read this book as I inhaled it. Heartless is a classic romance in the bodice ripper tradition but thankfully most of the more unsavory actions occur in the past, only to keep those in the present from being truly happy until all the dirty secrets have been exposed. Luke is such an a...
Responsible 25-yr-old heroine has taken care of her siblings after mother died & when father was struggling with gambling. She is instantly attracted to manly but foppishly-dressed duke Hero, who's been estranged from England & his family for 10 yrs after a duel with older brother who almost died. S...
Reading this book was a battle between interesting and boring. It just went too slowly for me but it's a good book.I like the dandy thing but sticking a fan in a guy's hand doesn't make him a dandy, it just makes it REALLY funny.
I loved this book. Lucas was one unique (for me) hero. He is a bonafide dandy, but very much a man. That was odd for me at first. I haven't read as many Georgians, so the spiffied up, lace-bedecked, bewigged, powered, high-heel wearing hero was a different thing for me. But this man makes it lo...
