Live the way Sherrill Bodine writes. Aw, Jules is a man with a dark past he wants to keep in the past but he wants what his brother has, love, marriage and children. He doesn't think he can have it, with his scars and a blind eye. Kat loves her twin so much she'll do almost anything to help him and that even means putting on his clothes to find him while she travels at night. Kat ends up at the same inn as Jules and just so happens the gypsie woman too boot. It seems fate intervines. Kat and Jules are found in bed together. They agree to an engagement, Jules wants it for real and Kat wants to call off after a few weeks.While enroute to Jules estate in France, Kat rescues Caroline from a Sir Edmund who was trying to ruin the girl so he can marry her for her wealth. This was not the first time Edmund tried to ruin a young lady for her money!!! He threatens Kat and her family, she keeps the threat a secret because she doesn't want Jules hurt. They get to his estate and Kat loves it. When she and Jules goes out for a ride they are set upon by highwaymen. Jules knows it's Edmund who did it. Kat saves them but Jules is hurt. She realizes she has fallen inn love with Jules. Kat's godmother Gwen aka Willy tells Jules step grandmother Sybilla about the engagement and they both make sure that they do get married.Jules brother Dominic arrives at the chateau with a special license and Kat's wedding dress, they are married the next day. Jules then realizes he lives his wife and us going to woo her until she falls in love. They head back to London. Again, Edmund threatens Kat and her family she finally tells Jules. Kat's twin Jacko calls Edmund out for a dual at dawn but Kat can not allow it since Jacko is the worst shot. She then drugs him, cuts her hair and puts on Jackos clothes to meet Edmund at dawn. Jules finds out what Kat has done and hopes to get there in time. As he rides into the field he sees and hears a shot and someone on the ground, thinking its Kat. But low and behold it's Edmund and he's shot in his pistol hand. Jules threatens him that he better leave for the continent or he will kill him right then and there in another dual. He leaves with the doctor and Jackos friend Glady.They get home to Kat's entire family waiting, things are spoken hugs and kisses and then Jules sweeps Kat into his arms and up to there room together. They finally declare their love for one another and happiness. Such a cute book. Would loved to have a few more chapters and maybe a epilogue a year later or so, but a good read!!!
