The Barnes & Noble ReviewLaurens fans, rejoice: It's back to Regency England and the worId of the Cynsters in a sweeping romantic story starring two people with different reasons for avoiding marriage. It's time for Charlie Morwellan, the eighth Earl of Meredith, to take a bride; and the appropriate choice is Sarah, daughter of his neighbors the Conninghams. But though Sarah has harbored a crush on him for years, she is determined to marry for true love alone. Charlie's determined courtship and escalating seduction campaign, conducted discreetly by night over two weeks, wins Sarah's heart. But after their marriage, Charlie turns aloof by day, leaving her puzzled and hurt. Sarah seeks solace in charity work at the local orphanage, which she inherited from her godmother along with its land, but when a series of dangerous events threatens the orphanage as well as Sarah, it's time for Charlie to reconsider the price he'll pay for the taste of innocence.
