A Reckless Redemption, Spies and Lovers Book 3
Can a single night’s deception lead to a lifelong love? On the eve of her wedding to a man she detests, Brynmore McCann can think of only one way to escape—by ruining herself—but the local lads leave her wholly uninspired. Just as she’s ready to accept her fate, she spots Maxwell Drake, home after nearly a decade. Even though he had loved her sister when they were young, Bryn has always considered him hers and she can’t think of anyone she’d rather have bed her for the first time. Only she never intends for him to find out who she is. Upon returning home, Maxwell is stunned by with the news that his father may have left him an inheritance. As the unacknowledged by-blow of a local nobleman, Maxwell struggles with resentment over the way he and his mother were treated by his father and village. To add to his troubles, he discovers the lass he spent an incredibly satisfying night with was not the village whore, but the high-born sister of his first love. He insists Brynmore travel with him to Edinburgh until they know if she is with child. Because if she is, she’ll marry him whether she wants to or not. Adding to his troubles, Maxwell discovers that someone wants them dead. As the list of suspects grows longer and his worries deepen, Maxwell prepares for an even more personal battle—how to keep from surrendering his heart to Brynmore. Warning: Contains a broody Scotsman, a fiery-haired lass, and a night of passion that changes everything. Readers are encouraged to bring a fan. GRAB IT HERE
What early readers are saying about A RECKLESS REDEMPTION: "A tale full of society, matchmaking, rules of decorum (and how to get around them), spies, mystery, romance, and more. It is a quickly paced tale and an enjoyable one." "WOW!!! I loved, loved, loved A Reckless Redemption...I had a great deal of trouble putting this book down. Ms. Trentham is a wonderful story teller who draws me into her books, making me forget the world around me and not letting me go until I turned the last page." |
