출판사 설명
Scarred from a terrible accident, Lucas Stanby swore never to return to England. But his brother’s murder forces him home ten years later as the new Earl of Berkmond and guardian of his two young nieces.
As the local vicar’s daughter and a childhood friend, Moira Dorsey naturally set aside her hopes of a family of her own to care for the earl’s daughters. Lucas’s return makes it impossible for her to remain since he broke Moira’s heart years ago, but the girls have other ideas.
Lucas realizes he needs Moira to keep his personal demons at bay as well as deal with two rambunctious girls. He offers Moira a marriage of convenience, hoping to keep his dark secret, aware he’s too broken to be the husband she deserves.
Moira discovers Lucas’s cold demeanor hides deep scars but glimpses of the boy she loved give her hope. She counters his proposal, asking for a babe of her own, wanting Lucas to see he’s not the monster he believes.
Unable to deny his growing feelings, Lucas agrees, but his past disrupts their second chance at love, dragging Moira and the girls into danger. He soon realizes he must share his terrible secret with Moira and risk losing her forever in order to stop the villain who threatens them all.

Good, but I hate cliffhangers
While I realize that authors don’t work for free, I dislike being manipulated into spending money. As far as I’m concerned, books with “cliffhanger” endings are manipulative. The excellence of the writing, my desire to read more books like it, and my engagement with the book’s characters should be enough to motivate me to buy the next book in the series. That being said—the author writes well, her characters are likeable, and her stories are reasonably original. I might have sprung for the last book in the series, had I not been annoyed about being left hanging in the middle of the story.
The Secret Trilogy -Shattered Secrets
Just completed reading the third book in The Secret Trilogy. It was quite enjoyable to have completed the series. Again, I would recommend for the mature reader. The book revealed the finale of all the secrets with a pleasurable ending.
