She wakes up in the arms of the one man she can never have… but is helpless to resist. Can their forbidden love survive all that threatens them?
Lady Maria has always done as she is told—until the former Diamond of the First Water faces a husband of unspeakable cruelty, and she escapes out a window and into the night, saved by the physician who affects her as no other man has.
When Lady Maria shows up on his doorstep, injured, frightened, and alone, Dr. Hudson Lewis cannot help but look after her—even if it means sacrificing his heart to resist temptation. For he, a duke’s bastard, will never be good enough for a woman like Lady Maria—especially after he has been accused of murdering his father.
To protect Maria, Hudson must set aside his pride and turn to his half-siblings, the Remingtons, for help. When danger threatens, they are all at risk and must work together to stay safe and determine who is pursuing them. Will Hudson and Maria’s hearts be able to withstand all that is against them?
The Clue of the Brilliant Bastard is book three in the Remingtons of the Regency series. This steamy Regency romance series is best enjoyed in order.
