I reviewed this one jointly with my fellow All About Romance reviewer Evelyn North she liked it a lot more than I did and gave it an A, whereas I couldn’t go higher than a C+. Soon Hugh knows that as surely as he’d fight a thousand battles to win her…the best way to love Lillias means breaking his own heart.

About Hugh’s stunning gentleness, depth, and courage. Hugh’s proposal salvages Lillias’s honor but kills their dreams for their futures…until they arrive at a plan that could honorably set them free.īut unraveling their entanglement inadvertently uncovers enthralling truths: about Lillias’s wounded, tender heart and fierce spirit. And the inevitable indiscretion? Soul-searing-and the ruination of them both. Nothing can stop Hugh Cassidy’s drive to build an American empire…unless it’s his new nemesis, the arrogant, beautiful, too-clever-by-half Lady Lillias Vaughn. Their worlds could only collide in a boardinghouse by the London docks…and when they do, the sparks would ignite all of England. She’s the sheltered, blue-blooded darling of the London broadsheets, destined to marry a duke.

He’s the battle-hardened son of a bastard, raised in the wilds of New York.
