Publisher Description

When in doubt, always do the right thing, especially when love is in the offing.

As the year 1818 comes to an end, Lady Theodosia Cavendish, only daughter to the Marquess of Armestead, pretends to enjoy society's glittering ballrooms and endless rounds of parties, for she has other, more interesting projects to fulfill her. An opponent to the men who build their fortunes on the backs of the slave trade, she makes certain social injustice is always at the forefront in London… even at the expense of her life.

Mr. Samuel Johansen, son of an English lord and a high-born Jamaican lady, is a glassblower by trade and a pugilist by recreation. He's as handsome as sin, which helps in navigating society, for he adores the life of a gentleman, but what he truly desires is a seat in the House of Commons, to fight discrimination, poverty, and class separation by helping to change laws… no matter his own personal battles.

While holiday gaiety mingles with dark hatred, one chance meeting between Theodosia and Samuel spark not only an unlikely romance but also dissention in their world. As their relationship deepens, they court intrigue and danger, and in the process provoke powerful men who wish their secrets to remain just that. When happiness is in their grasp, it's dashed away in an egregious plan by a black hearted peer that changes their lives. Only with hope and love can they finally have their happily ever after.

Marvelous historical romance

I have loved historical romance stories for a long time and I really enjoy the way a lot more are being written about characters that are different. In this book we have a crusading spinster of nearly thirty and a hero who is not only half black but is also “in trade” (gasp). In normal Sandra Sookoo style she brings these two characters together, arranges troubles for them, applies heat (if you know what I mean) and then of course arranges things nicely at the end. An absolutely wonderful read. You can definitely read the books in this series individually or out of order but you will get more out of them if you read the whole series as there are characters and story lines that follow through the books. Do be aware that there is a fair amount of heat in this author’s writing so if that is not something you like in your romance books then maybe look elsewhere but if you are like me and love this kind of thing when it’s well written then I recommend you read this series.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
