Publisher Description
Diagnosed with consumption, Viscount "Devil" Dare knows his days are numbered. With his greedy cousin scheming to throw Dare’s mother and sisters out of their home after his death, he can hardly refuse a mysterious lady’s solution—wedding vows. Her lands would ensure his industrial success—and secure the future for those he loves.
Bookish botanist Emilia McDowell desperately needs the land she will inherit once she marries. Her gift for the healing arts requires growing and experimenting with herbs if she’s to save lives. When she learns that her funds would benefit handsome Lord Dare, who is said to be dying, she offers a marriage of convenience.
But if Emilia touches Dare, her dangerous healing gift could kill her. As they learn to love under trying circumstances, Emilia longs to find the courage to be a true wife—until she discovers Dare's plans for her inheritance. Can love and marriage surmount death and betrayal?
Customer Reviews
Her Healing Touch
Emilia has the Malcom gift of healing but because it is painful and because the last time she tried to save a life she almost died, she avoids all human contact and concentrates on her pharmacopeia. To this end, and in order to gain her inheritance and continue her life's research, she proposes marriage to a dying man. Dare is not aware of her aversion to touch and when he finds himself married to a beautiful woman, vows to seduce her. Emilia finds much to her surprise that her desire for her husband seems to override the healing connection, allowing her to find a different kind of connection, one she has never known before! Another fabulous story from Patrica Rice which I highly recommend.Whilst this is a standalone, readers will get more enjoyment if they have read previous books in this series. Can't wait to read William's story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
