A scoundrel so dark and a heroine so consumed with propriety is doomed for disaster, but of course, Suzanne Enoch carries it off as no one else can. Lillith’s mother ran away with another man when she was only twelve. Now it is up to her to live down the scandal through an advantageous marriage. Her father’s obsession with her becoming a duchess sets a series of events in motion that have you racing for the end of the story.
Jack, the hero and a Marquis in his own right, has a reputation so black and lurid Lillith cuts him when he steps forward for an introduction. Now he is out for revenge and that revenge is to ruin her, literally.
One really nice twist in this story is Lillith’s brother, William. The typical younger brother who gets away with everything while the older sister has to not only save the family name, but fend off a myriad of suitors, pacify the hateful aunt, and make sure said brother stays out of trouble. The difference in this story is the brother is not an idiot. And I love how this brother comes through for his sister.
Ms. Enoch is truly a master when it comes to telling the story through her characters.
