Book Description:
No truth is worse than a lie. Or is it...?

Flora is going to marry the man of her choice! That's what she told her father, but he continues to insist she marry a German prince fifteen years her senior. In a fit of rebellion she runs away during a raging storm, only to crash head-long into a wall of a man. Tumbling to the ground she hits her head, and a moment before everything goes black, she finds herself gazing into the most captivating eyes she's ever seen.

Zane De'Ville, a French aristocrat and infamous womanizer, is suddenly tasked with taking care of a beautiful young lady who cannot tell him anything about herself, but he quickly wonders if her amnesia is authentic?

My Thoughts:
This book is by the wonderful talented lady named Maggie Carpenter. Who can resist such a cover? I bought it because of the cover. So whoever tells you covers dont matter is lying. I love erotic romances and Maggie delivers in this delicious discovery of it between a high bred woman named Flora who is too strong willed for her own good and the rogue aristocrat Zane Deville.

Things are not always as they seem which is a lesson that both Flora and Zane learn as they journey together through this tale. Zane is a man who loves, leaves them. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. Flora knocks him for a loop though because she is nothing like what he expected. She speaks her mind, is reckless, she acts then thinks which often lands her in trouble.

Zane is determined to show her the errors of her ways even if it means not being a gentleman to do so. Lust and blossoming love emerge in ways neither was expecting. But his past comes back to haunt not only him but puts Flora in harms way. Can he save her? Can he have a life with her he never thought possible or will it be too late?

Maggie weaves a wonderful tale together with just the right taste of history to make you forget the real world you live in as you dive into her romances. So what are you waiting for?

In The Darkness

Her hands gripped the wrought iron fence, she just stood there unable to move. How many times before had she dared to walk past the orphanage and until now she had never seen one of their faces? And now she wished she hadn't. Their skin pale as the surface of the moon. It was almost  as if she were a ghost. Was she? It was hard to tell. Something wasn't right....

 Her mind screamed run but it was too late.

Hidden Away

She peered through the trees and couldn't help but wonder why it was the only  house around to be surrounded by water? She had tipped her toe into the water and it had swallowed it up to the knee and she still didn't feel any solid ground beneath it. Hurriedly, she pulled her leg back out of it's dark depths. What was they hiding over there? What was the secrets lurking in the dark windows? What could possibly be lurking inside that was so terrible they would go to these depths to keep people away? No, matter how hard she tried she couldn't stay away.

Take My Hand

"Take My Hand."

"Only because I have no other choice in the matter."

"You make eternity sound like a crime," he said as he led her away from the Victorian mansion that had been her home for many a years.

"It is." She held her head high as she gazed into his brown eyes.

"There are many more things in world more dangerous than I my dear."
