From the exciting new historical author Meredith Duran comes two back-to-back dark and sexy Regency historical novels that follow her thrilling debut The Duke of Shadows. In Written on Your Skin, Mina Morehouse flees to America from England, wishing to escape the consequences of a mistake she made that may have cost hundreds of British lives. Now her actions have come back to haunt her in the form of her childhood love. Once a raffish explorer, Justin Ashmore has acquired a taste for vengeance. He will stop at nothing to uncover the truth of that terrible night five years ago—even if it means confronting the woman he betrayed, and the strange attraction that still binds them together.
