With his beloved sister tainted by scandal, his widowed brother shattered by grief , and his funds cut off, Darius Lindsey sees no option but to sell himself—body and soul.
The aging Lord William Longstreet offers Darius a devil's bargain. If Darius gives Lord William what he needs, he may have a chance to get free of his debts and more importantly, his devastating degradations.
Now if only Darius knew what to do with the lovely, beguiling, gentle Lady Vivian, whose tenderness and understanding wrap his soul in a grace he never expected, and know he doesn't deserve.
Darius Lindsey is not your average regency hero. He sells himself to rich, bored, (en)titled women to make ends meet caring for his family. He is instantly likeable, sympathetic and desperate. His latest offer is ever so tempting as it will pay his debts, but will require more than he has been willing to give. Vivian is in a marriage of convenience, she was harder to warm up to, but as they get to know each other, I came to like her very much. I loved the humor, emotion, and redemption of this book. I was riveted to the pages wondering how their HEA would come about. Looking forward to book two in the Lonely Lords series..

I'm glad you enjoyed the book! I liked the cover! ;)
From the cover I can tell one would enjoy Darius' company. Glad you enjoyed it.
I am glad they got their HEA, even if I knew they would
I will have to try this author again. I don't think I gave her a fair shake!
