Betrothed to a man she despises, Julia Deveraux will do anything to escape this situation. Dressed as a man, she steals one of her father’s horses and sets out to ride to her grandfather’s home in Scotland. That is until she wakes up in the guest room of the Duke of Rutland.

Sebastian Cade withdrew from London society after a tragedy he blames himself for. It is a life he has accepted. When a raven-haired woman wanders into his garden on horseback late one night, he feels a unique attraction to her. Her strong will and spirit only increases that attraction. But will the knowledge of Julia’s involvement with his sworn enemy change how he feels for her?

Reckless Liaisons by Kayleigh Jamison is sure to be a favorite with every Regency reader. Julia Deveraux is a heroine with spirit and a will of her own, one that she refuses to let any man break. Yet she has an innocence that draws the hero Sebastian Cade, Duke of Rutland to her, even as he tries to fight the attraction.

Ms. Jamison delivers a story that will intrigue and captivate you. Julia and Sebastian’s love story sweeps you along from the halls of his stately manor to the theaters of London. The description in each scene carries you back in time to Regency London to horse drawn carriages on cobblestone streets and debutante balls, where the slightest misadventure could ruin a young lady’s reputation forever. This is a fantastic read and one that you will want to revisit time and again.
