Synopsis

Lucinda Potter, daughter of a wealthy merchant, is more interested in trade than in the men after her dowry. When forced to have a London season, Lucy sets out to enjoy herself rather than to find a husband. But once she meets the notorious Earl of Wyvern, her resolve weakens, and when they kiss, it dissolves—even though her instincts warn he's dangerous.

Wyvern has a dark secret, which means he must win a rich bride. Lucy seems ideal—not for her beauty and her lively charm, but because at first meeting she seems unlikely to realize the truth . . .

As he comes to really know her with each intoxicating kiss, Wyvern realizes she's too clever and honest by far. Marrying Lucy would mean living a lie with the woman he has come to love.

Contains mature themes.

Okay, that's a weird title. And it makes no more sense after reading than it did before. Also, this one is tightly tied into the series timeline, so I wouldn't recommend reading this without having read others before, though mainly The Dragon's Bride. Having read that one, you'll know most of what y......more

Goodreads review by Susan on June 09, 2017

Good book. It is an opposites attract, city girl/country boy story. The book opens with Lucy's period of mourning for her mother at an end. She is ready to go back to helping her father with his business as a merchant, and dealing with everything that entails. Except her father drops the bombshell t......more

Goodreads review by Mary on October 02, 2014

I'm a big Jo Beverley fan, but I particularly liked this book. The dramatic changes in settings (and people) from the City to the West End to Crag Wyvern. A strong and unconventional heroine who knows what she wants and has the knowledge to make it happen. A hero who's strong but likeable. The relat......more

Goodreads review by Yuni on February 12, 2015

Bought this book only for RM5 at BBWB FireSale. Reason is because want to try this author. Hmm...I need time. Yes, time is the main point. I can't keep up with the story. First, the earl wants to marry Lucy for her money. But after seeing, he changes his plan. Then I don't know how...suddenly he is......more
