Beschrijving uitgever
The notorious Inferno Club is known to London Society as a scandalous gathering of wealthy libertines and highborn rakehells devoted to their wicked pleasures. But little does the world suspect the true purpose of the Club or the danger that looms over England, which this select, powerful group of lords are secretly sworn to fight.
Recruited as lads from noble families, trained in an array of deadly arts, and sent into various countries throughout Europe to stop the insidious spread of an evil, centuries-old secret society with tentacles in every court in Europre and members among the uppermost reaches of power.
With Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, the agents of the Inferno Club believe their shadow war is over too, but as it turns out, their not-quite-vanquished enemies still have a few evil tricks up their sleeves.
In the meantime, the agents try to get on with their lives as civilians, and this meansfinding wives and siringheirs to carry on their titles. MY IRRESISTABLE EARL focuses on a new character and the lady who teaches him to love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Foley's follow-up to My Wicked Marquess and My Dangerous Duke fizzles melodramatically. Worldly diplomat Jordan Lennox, the earl of Falconridge, is an agent of a secret order sworn to protect the king. Mara Bryce, Lady Pierson, is a wealthy young widow and not at all interested in finding a new husband but Jordan was her first love, who asked her to wait for him and then disappeared. Twelve years later, they meet again and sparks fly. Separated from Mara by his duty and wracked with regrets, Jordan wonders whether destiny has given them a second chance, but he is on another mission against a dark cult, and his decision to involve Mara endangers her even as he woos her. Characters are thinly drawn and inconsistent, and after a promising beginning, both romance and spy story become contrived.
