Synopsis

Strong as a Viking. Handsome as Adonis. Rich as Midas. Collin "Cole" Talmage, Duke of Trewyth, is the stuff that legends are made of. He's the English Empire's golden son—until fate has its way with him. Cole's family is killed and his closest comrade betrays him on the battlefield, leaving him gravely injured. But Cole is not one to dwell on misfortune. He is a man of duty, honor, and desire. And now he's ready for the fight of his lifetime . . .

Imogen Pritchard is a beautiful lass who works in a hospital by day and as a serving maid at night. Years ago, when she was young and penniless, she ended up spending a scandalous night with Cole, whose tormented soul was matched only by his earth-shattering passion. Imogen entered a marriage of convenience—one that left her a wealthy widow—but she never forgot Cole. Now that her long-lost lover has turned up in her hospital, injured and with no memory of her, Imogen is torn: Is it a blessing or a curse that their past remains a secret to Cole, even as his new passion for her leaves him wanting to protect and possess her at all costs?

Contains mature themes.

This one is my favorite so far of the Victorian Rebels series. I still prefer lighthearted romances, but Byrne is an excellent writer and I keep getting sucked in by her characters. And Imogen was an excellent character. The hero of this one, Cole, is more of a spy/assassin and less of a straight-up m......more

The duke, Colin, and Imogen have a passionate night together years ago, but Imogen was in disguise and Colin has never been able to find her again. Now, he's living n......more

Goodreads review by EmBibliophile on May 12, 2020

3.5 stars “I would fall in love with you if you’d let me.” I still can’t decide whether to round it up or down. The thing is, Cole is such an ignorant blind jerk! He’s such a snob. He’s got a lot of annoying traits. However, when I read a historical romance I try to remind myself that they’re a repres......more
