Description

From New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh comes the first installment of the beloved Bedwyn saga.

Meet the Bedwyns: six brothers and sisters—men and women of passion and privilege, daring and sensuality. Enter their dazzling world of high society and breathtaking seduction, where each will seek love, fight temptation, and court scandal—and where Aidan Bedwyn, the marriage-shy second son, discovers that matrimony may be the most seductive act of all.

Like all the Bedwyn men, Aidan has a reputation for cool arrogance. But this proud nobleman also possesses a loyal, passionate heart—and it is this fierce loyalty that has brought Colonel Lord Aidan to Ringwood Manor to honor a dying soldier’s request. Having promised to comfort and protect the man’s sister, Aidan never expected to find a headstrong, fiercely independent woman who wants no part of his protection—nor did he expect the feelings this beguiling creature would ignite in his guarded heart. And when a relative threatens to turn Eve out of her home, Aidan gallantly makes her an offer she can’t refuse: marry him, if only to save her home. And now, as all of London breathlessly awaits the unveiling of the Lady Aidan Bedwyn, the strangest thing happens: With one touch, one searing embrace, Aidan and Eve’s “business arrangement” is about to be transformed—into something slightly surprising.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Mary Balogh's The Secret Mistress.

This book is gooood. Such a formulaic plot outline warrants an expected ending (I assume. I am only in the 2nd act). However, Balogh makes d**n sure we are thrilled and surprised and jaw-slacken as we get there. The prose is elevated, making it a pleasure to read. And then the book is thoroughly enjoyable. I could take put it down. Im glad its a series bc I will absolutely be reading the whole thing.
Fabulous book
