Courting the Countess
Despite what her family and society believe, Brook Meylan, Lady A'Court, did not spend the last two years mourning her husband; she spent those years trying to forget him. Leaving London, Brook sought refuge at one of her family's small estates in Cornwall, where she hoped time and solitude would help heal the painful memories of her hellish marriage. But any hope Brook might have of peacefully retiring from the world is threatened when rakish artist Mallory Claeg recognizes her. Mallory had come to Cornwall to paint, but something about the beautiful, enigmatic widow inspires him to use all of his legendary charms to entice her into his arms and back into society. A devilishly irresistible hero and a deliciously complex heroine match wits and find love in Pierce's latest captivating Bedegrayne romance. With its richly nuanced characters and vivid writing, this lushly sensual historical Regency is supremely satisfying.John CharlesCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
