The summary is explained well. The Earl of Ashworth, Adam Stanford, is a good & honorable man who is enticed, by the promise of exceedingly well-bred twin horses, to the castle of the suspicious Baron Bourgeault. Instead of purchasing the outrageously priced pair, the Earl instead falls in love with the young & beautiful Baron's wife, Lady Catherine Bourgeault. A brief but impactful affair follows. The affair is resumed later when the Baron & his wife take up residency in London. But is this really a case of star-crossed love, or is there something...or someone...more sinister playing as puppet master?The characters were brought to life and their story made me feel like I was part of it. Some scenes were rather intense while building up suspense as the story of Adam and Catherine developed. I always enjoy books with epilogues and was happy to see one.
