Valor's Reward
A desperate lord on a journey of duty, a pistol fired in a snowstorm at a highwayman, and Michael, Lord Deyncourt, shoots scholarly, provoking Miss Jessica Whinburn. Now she is wounded, in his hands, and in his bed! Since she can never marry, how can she cope when scandal and intrigue threaten, and Michael, Lord Deyncourt, who has troubles of his own,is the only man who can rescue her? When nefarious enemies weave devious schemes against them, will Jessica have the courage to sacrifice her honor and her heart to save them both from the unexpected dangers of London society, and the haunting demons of the past?
A note from the author: I broke several unspoken 'rules' about Regencies in this one! VALOR'S REWARD treads into territory not often found in Regencies, though I can't tell you how without revealing too much. In some other ways, in style and detail and setting, it's my most typical Regency. You'll have to read it to find out what I mean, but it's a favorite with many readers!
"Marvelous . . . Michael is the embodiment of a woman's secret longings, insightful, commanding, gentle. I found myself likening (Valor's Reward) to fine brandy, full, bodied, smooth, delicious and leaving me wanting more . . . a delight." RENDEZVOUS
