An earl hiding from his future . . .
Lawrence Browne, the Earl of Radnor, is mad. At least, that’s what he and most of the village believes. A brilliant scientist, he hides himself away in his family’s crumbling estate, unwilling to venture into the outside world. When an annoyingly handsome man arrives at Penkellis, claiming to be Lawrence’s new secretary, his carefully planned world is turned upside down.
A swindler haunted by his past . . .
Georgie Turner has made his life pretending to be anyone but himself. A swindler and con man, he can slip into an identity faster than he can change clothes. But when his long-dead conscience resurrects and a dangerous associate is out for blood, Georgie escapes to the wilds of Cornwall. Pretending to be a secretary should be easy, but he doesn’t expect that the only madness he finds is the one he has for the gorgeous earl.
Can they find forever in the wreckage of their lives?
Challenging each other at every turn, the two men soon give into the desire that threatens to overwhelm them. But with one man convinced he is at the very brink of madness and the other hiding his real identity, only true love can make this an affair to remember.
I do really love Georgie and Lawrence characters and the interaction that build from the start. But I must admit that the slow pace on the story really 'killing' me and testing my patience!!!
I also found there's few things left hanging and 'forced' me to questioning myself...
"That's it?"
"Just like that?"
I read half first of the book with flat face until Simon come to Penkellis and 'bright' the story. Well...a bit...
But even if the whole story cannot grabbed the feels and I have to struggling finishing the book, I think it still good enough to devour....
Last but not least, the cover really pleased my coverslut eyes even the story didn't fulfill my expectations....
