Perhaps it's her natural curiosity or maybe, she likes excitement, especially where the notorious Lord Verne is concerned. When she's mistaken for a hussy at the Hart Inn-by every fault of her own-staring at the handsome lord through a partially opened door in a private parlor and watching him out of her chamber window in the middle of the night-is it any surprise he abducts her? Of course, she foolishly imagines her rank and her identity are enough to protect her.But her family name doesn't change Verne's mind, for he is still fascinated by Cecily. With her reputation hanging by a thread after spending the night in Verne's house, she's forced to make a fateful decision, face the consequences of her actions, which could mean utter ruin for her and her family, or agree to a fake engagement with the rakish lord.Lord Verne has a tragic past and his own dark secrets to contend with, making him a bad match for the vivacious Cecily and her powerful family. But once the news of their "engagement" gets out, neither one of them is in a hurry to call it off.Will they find their happily ever after with each other? Or will Verne's sinister past destroy everything?Books in Series: The Deserted HeartThe Sinister Heart

Mary Lancaster is a USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction and historical romance. She lives in Scotland with her husband, one of three grown-up kids, and a small dog with a big personality. Her first literary love was historical fiction, a genre which she relishes mixing up with romance and adventure in her own writing. Several of her novels feature actual historical characters as diverse as Hungarian revolutionaries, medieval English outlaws, and a family of eternally rebellious royal Scots. To say nothing of Vlad the Impaler. Her most recent books are light fun Regency romances, with occasional forays into Victorian mystery.
