He is handsome, charming and devastating. He is also the last man she needed but was the one she wanted.
Orlando Holt is an assassin that has never had to assassinate a woman before. Lady Lynden is both lovely and feisty and will be his first. Orlando has been told that she is a vicious murderess but he begins to have doubts. Now he is determined to find out who hired him. His world is turned upside down with what he learns and sends him headlong into love with the one woman that proves to be immune to his charms.
Lady Susanna Lynden has been widowed twice by the time she turned twenty-four. She has also had her fill of charming men. Her life was made miserable by her last husband who wasn’t the same once he got her to the marriage bed after wooing her with all the correct things necessary to win her. Now money is scarce and her house is falling down but she knows that the exotic fruit from her orange trees will turn things around and keep poverty away. Except that every where she turns she is being thwarted and someone seems to want her dead.
This is a start to a series that proves to have some very interesting characters and makes for a story that the reader will fall into and won’t want to leave until the very last page and will also have them eagerly looking for the second book in the series. The world of the 16th century comes to life for readers as they immerse themselves in the world that is built in the story. It also gives a reader a glimpse of what life was like back then. If the other books prove to be as full of action and suspense as this one this is going to be one series that will be a lot of fun to read and worth checking out. ( )
