To win her condfidence, however, nothing less than his love would do.
The Old Maid of Bartley Green
Anne Sinclair had sworn to protect her sister from the infamous Lord Ruin. Yet she never expected to sacrifice her own virtue. Forced to give the rogue her hand in marriage, she vowed never to relinquish her heart. But Ruan worshipped her body and valued her intelligence, making Anne long to succumb to the ultimate temptation: falling for her husband.
“Lord Ruin is full of engaging, loveable characters, a wonderful, interesting storyline, and true, realistic romance. — Carla Hesom, Romance and Friends
“With a captivating, innocent young woman and a handsome virile rake of a man, Ms. Jewel’s sensual and powerful love story keeps to the classic lines of the Regency Historical and while adding a fresh voice.” — (4 stars) Joan Hammond, Romantic Times
