To Tame a Savage Heart
ROGUES & GENTLEMEN: BOOK SEVEN
Lucretia 'Crecy' Holbrook has a secret, a secret she has kept for many years.
Even her dearest confidante and sister, Belle, would not understand what Crecy is prepared to do, the risks she is prepared to take, to get her heart's desire.
For Crecy is not like the other smiling débutantes; she despises poetry, thinks dancing a chore and is quite prepared to throw something at the next fool to compare her to Aphrodite.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A wonderful, masculine, Cinderella story." ~ Amazon customer review
Far more likely to return from a country walk with a badger's skull and some bloody, injured creature than a posy of wildflowers, Crecy is drawn to the dark, the damaged, and the unlovable. Her heart longs for one man alone, one with a wounded soul, one so dreadfully damaged that even her tender care might not be enough to save him.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great book! What a dark tale of obsessive behavior and obsession!" ~ Amazon customer review
Viscount Demorte is everything she dreams of.
With a reputation that covers blackmail, murder and madness, cruelly handsome Lord Gabriel Greyston, Viscount Demorte, is far more dangerous than any wounded dog, and his bite … just might leave Crecy ruined beyond repair.

**** Warning: This book contains all manner of strong wills and Regency sensibilities, not detracting from the presence of a descriptive sexual encounter or two. We are very pleased, however, to highlight that this book - and series - is in no way verging on erotica. ****
