Distrust is no match for desire as a proper young miss and a self-professed rogue hunt down a murderer in this thrilling Disgraced Lords novel from the USA Today bestselling author of A Kiss of Lies and A Taste of Seduction.
Arend Aubury trusts no one besides his fellow Libertine Scholars. After his family escaped from France, penniless and persecuted, only the Scholars took him in. So when the stepdaughter of the villainess who has been plotting against them approaches Arend with allegations against their enemy, he suspects a double cross. Yet Isobel is a tantalizing prize, with lips as sweet as champagne and skin as creamy as Camembert. Is she a feast for the senses—or a bitter trap?
Lady Isobel Thompson dreams of marrying an honorable gentleman with a spotless reputation, a trait that Arend seems to lack completely. But Isobel believes that her stepmother is responsible for her father’s death, and only Arend has the skills to uncover the truth. As a cover, Arend suggests a fake betrothal—and soon Isobel finds herself forgetting that their courtship is a ploy. He’s so different from the man of her fantasies, and yet he’s so terribly handsome, so dangerously intoxicating—and all Isobel wants is more.

Arend Aubury has a problem
with trust. He had given so much in the past, and it had cost him a lot, and
nearly his life. He trusts no one but the Libertine Scholars whom he owed so
much. They have been there when he needed him the most and he kept no secrets
from them except those dreadful years in his life that he kept to himself. The
moment he met the stepdaughter of the woman who has been plotting against them,
he already has his doubts. Then, when she tells them allegations against her
stepmother, his suspicions arise. Problem is, can he resist the young and
beautiful Isobel? Or will once again fell into a trap made by a pretty woman?
Lady Isobel Thompson
wanted to marry someone with a pristine reputation, far from the mysterious and
handsome Arend. However, she believes that her stepmother has something to do
with the death of her father and only Arend can help her uncover that secret.
Now, if only he can be able to trust her and believe that she has nothing to do
with her stepmother’s activities. Arend suggests a fake engagement, and not
long before Isobel is falling for his charms and forgets it was all for show. Will
she be able to protect her heart? Can she thaw the ice and distrust that
surrounds his heart? Will she be able to accept his deepest and darkest
secrets?
It’s quite a task to like
Arend at first, he was too distrustful, and Isobel was just too nice – a mere
victim of circumstances. But once you get to know his secrets, he will surely
have a place in your hearts. What he had been through was just awful. He’s
lucky to have his friends that have his back and that has kept him sane.
Surprising, unexpected
twists, steamy romance, a dash of drama some action makes this Disgraced Lords
novel a fantastic read.
