This was a amazing historical erotic romance.In London, England 1815. Lord Christian Trent, "the fifth Earl of Markham," was woken in a brothel by men accusing him of rape. Lord Markham wasn't at the time clear in his head. He had used laudanum to help relieve the pain from the burns he had received in the war. Lord Markham was consider a war hero. He fought bravely in the battle at Waterloo saving many. In the battle he was trapped and nearly burned alive. Lord Markham was saved but left scarred on half of his face and upper half of his body. This left him emotionally scarred as well.Lord Markham was knocked out and woke to find himself in Canada. While staying in Canada Lord Markham found himself left in charge of his friend's daughter Lilly. Both of Lilly's parent's had died. Lord Markham needed a governess to look after Lilly and one that also was willing to travel back to England. Lord Markham remembers what happened and wants to go back to prove his innocence.Sarah Cooper aka "Lady Serena" applies for the governess possession. She remembers Lord Markham from her childhood and knows he is now a recluse due to his burns after the war. A perfect place for her to hide. If only she can keep her childhood infatuation of him to herself. Sarah has a lot to lose if found. She is on the run from a very abusive husband and his friend. Sarah in a fight for her life had knocked her husband over the head with a bottle and now could be tried for murder.Sarah is also emotionally scarred from the trauma of a abusive husband. The two of them can help each other to heal if only they can overcome the situation they find themselves in.Things don't always go as planned and things are not always as they appear to be.Beautifully written and not a dull moment. I really enjoyed the overall mystery. I'm looking forward to reading more about the five sexy friends of Lord Markham's, "The Libertine Scholars".
