Back Cover: Expect the unexpected, especially in a room
filled with books… Honoria Duchamp is well aware that men often consider widows
easy prey for the role of mistress. What else could explain the attentions of
handsome Lord Devin, and his visits to her bookshop? The much younger Viscount
has even shown interest in the printing press with which she creates pamphlets
on London’s basest injustices. Yet his chief interest appears to be in her… Coerced
to investigate Nora’s controversial pamphlets, Devin expected to find a bookish
matron. Instead, he is taken with Nora’s womanly beauty, sharp intellect, and
quick wit. Soon, what begins as an unwelcome task becomes a pleasure, and
Devin’s job becomes more dangerous—for them both. For Nora has no idea of the
vicious element she’s crossed. Now Devin will risk his reputation to protect
her—and much more to win her love…
This story is told from the persepective of Honoria and
Alexander. Both are strong minded characters who have their own views of the other.
Honoria is older than Lord Devin and not comfortable with his advances. While
Alexander has his own agenda. The characters are very well written. I really
enjoyed how well read Honoria was. The story touched on a lot of different
topics making it very well rounded. You felt as if you where there with the
characters. I enjoyed reading this book.
