Devon de Grenfeld has finally found time to visit his holdings, but what he finds there makes him wonder if he should have come sooner, or run away while he still can.
Lady Celeste Brystowe has had to fight her entire life. At the age of eight her parents were killed in a vicious attack, and her life changed forever. Now, after eleven years of fighting to keep what is rightfully hers, Lord Devon de Grenfeld is going to show up and try to take Ambellshire away from her? Over her dead body, or better yet, his.
Devon de Grenfeld hates Ambellshire with a passion. He'd like nothing better than to never see its fields and walls again. The battle eleven years ago at Ambellshire caused him to lose his one true love to another man and he'll never separate the two events in his mind. Finding poor accommodations and a beautiful, but mouthy, Lady Celeste doesn't make him feel any better about coming. Devon can't wait to kick the dust of Ambellshire off his heels, except something is going on, and he can't leave until he finds out what it is.
As Devon lingers on and on, Celeste is having a harder time keeping her mouth shut and her secrets hidden. As her brain twists in turmoil as to how much she can trust this rather moody Knight, her heart is doing some twisting of its own and softening against her will. Can these two stubborn people ever find a middle ground? Will they be able to trust one another at last and find love, or will pride and misunderstandings always mar the way?
Newcomer Jewell Mason explodes on the Historical Romance scene with this breath-taking first book. Her characters are larger than life with familiar flaws that make them all the more endearing. Ms. Mason's way with dialogue and description will have the readers turning pages as fast as they can, and had this reviewer up well past her bed time trying to finish it in one sitting. This is one fabulous read and will leave readers anxiously awaiting its sequel.
