Description

After the Kiss. During his absence, his brother disappears, and Marcus inherits the title of Duke of Blackthorne. The story deepens with The Beast , when Eliza Sheringham arrives at Blackthorne Abbey proposing herself as governess for the mischievous twins. Discover the captivating story of *The Innocent*, a tale of love, scandal, and redemption set against the backdrop of Regency England. Meet Miss Eliza Sheringham, a spirited young woman who is too tall and entirely too outspoken, growing up with a rebellious streak that defies polite society’s expectations. Her bold nature leads her to reject the advances of Captain Lord Marcus Wharton, known as Beau for his stunning good looks, until a stolen kiss unexpectedly draws her into a dangerous and passionate romance. In *The Beau*, Marcus is called to battle, leaving behind the woman who has captured his heart and ignited a scandal with their clandestine kiss. During his absence, his brother disappears, and Marcus inherits the title of Duke of Blackthorne. He becomes the guardian of twin nieces, who are rumored to be his own daughters. Scarred physically and emotionally from his wartime experiences, Marcus has transformed into the Beast of Blackthorne—a wounded, shadowy figure hiding away in the depths of Blackthorne Abbey, haunted by his past and his appearance. The story deepens with *The Beast*, when Eliza Sheringham arrives at Blackthorne Abbey proposing herself as governess for the mischievous twins. Marcus, now the Beast, demands marriage as the price for employment, convinced she could never love him due to his scars and intimidating presence. Despite his fears, he finds himself hungering for her more than life itself, even as he believes his looks will forever drive her away. Their tumultuous relationship explores themes of love beyond appearances, redemption, and the power of true connection. This compelling trilogy weaves together romance, intrigue, and emotional depth, making it a must-read for fans of historical fiction and passionate love stories.
