Synopsis

A passionate new historical romance in Madeline Hunter's nationally bestselling Seducer series. This one features a fifth member of the London Dueling Society, the reserved, enigmatic lawyer to the Laclere family: Julian Hampton. All his life, it seemed, Julian had been in love with Penelope, now Countess of Glasbury. And when he learned the horrors she had endured at the hands of her vicious husband, Julian was instrumental in arranging for her escape to Italy. But he has never forgotten the love of his childhood, the woman he had rescued first as a "damsel in distress" when she was a girl, and then for real once she had blossomed into woman. When Penelope returns secretly to London, Julian is the one she turns to, even though her trust in him puts both their reputations, and ultimately their lives, in peril.

The whole stuff with the ex-enslaved people and Pen declaring that women were the last chattel slaves in England...was...icky at best, outright racist at worst. And I'm not sure where it stands. I'd love to s......more

Goodreads review by Neko on April 27, 2013

I liked the idea of the hero as a lawyer helping the heroine work around the awful, restrictive marriage laws of the time. It seems like a potentially rich subject area to me - yes, we like to read about perfect, happy-ever-after marriages, but what about women who were trapped in bad marriages? The......more

Goodreads review by Emma on March 12, 2025

A whole lot of plot for nothing to happen!! The gap between Hunter's Medievals (incredible) and her Regencies (never reaching heights higher the compelling side of mediocre) is astounding. To her credit, she does integrate the political reality of Regency aristocrats earning their money from slavery......more

This was a series I read YEARS ago and I vividly remembered loving this book in particular. Did I this time? Uhhhhh... I loved the hero - Julian is SBD potential, pines HARD for decades (literally), and always lets Penelope make her own choices and will do anything to support her. I struggled more wi......more
