Dangerous Passions (Signet Eclipse)
More than anything, Lady Eve Halliday wants vengeance. Fortunately, working for the ultrasecret fellowship of the Black Phoenix will enable her to achieve it. Although ostensibly Eve is being paired up with Colonel Lord Marcus Cordell to look into a series of murders of young men--a faux betrothal between the two offering the perfect cover for their investigation--she plans on using the opportunity to get closer to Marcus to ruin him. Although Marcus is not sure exactly what he has done to earn Eve's fierce anger, he isn't about to abandon their mission or Eve, especially once he discovers that she is in danger herself. Two deeply conflicted, equally stubborn people clash with superbly sensual results in the second installment in the delectably dark Black Phoenix trilogy of Regencies. Kerstan deftly and compellingly combines subtle danger and potent desire, and the expert manner in which she wraps up this exquisite tale of revenge and love is nothing short of brilliant.John CharlesCopyright © American Library Association.
