Her brother\u2019s thoroughbred business has given her purpose and independence, but when an accident leaves her solely in charge, despair and destruction threaten her every move. Trapped in an impossible position, Lucy must do the right thing and watch their dreams crumble, or save their livelihood at a cost too great to bear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lord Philip Lyton, Marquess of Chalifour is a member of the prestigious Jockey Club, dedicated to eliminating cheating in horse racing. Trouble raises its ugly head when his business partner falls foul of an accident and he\u2019s suddenly forced to deal with the man\u2019s sister, who seems alarmingly out of her depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chalifour respects Lucy\u2019s steely resolve, but knows that single-mindedness can be the most dangerous trait of all. She might be beautiful and beguiling, but Lucy Goodwin is keeping secrets and Chalifour is determined to find out what they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24052 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bookenthusiastpromotions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/excerpt.png?resize=468%2C152\" alt=\"excerpt\" width=\"468\" height=\"152\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His thoughts deviated once again to Lucy. The image of her mouth made him shift in his seat. He had the curious sense she had been simultaneously annoyed with him, and yet grateful to him. Why she would feel either of these emotions was beyond him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women, for all the many pleasures they could provide, were frequently an enigma. Except for his occasional mistresses, he just could not make out the internal workings of their minds. In his view, the Cythereans were the only women who were generally straightforward. They provided pleasure to him, and in return, he provided lavish gifts and money to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Twinsie-for-the-Day.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6177\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Twinsie-for-the-Day.png?resize=270%2C96\" alt=\"Twinsie for the Day\" width=\"270\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Review by Becky<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I received this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoy reading historical romances, you&#8217;ll like this one.\u00a0 It is always interesting to me to read novels about women that are willing to do whatever necessary to help or protect their loved ones&#8230;..current times or not.\u00a0 Lucy Goodwin was willing to do just that and Lord Chalifour pushed her until he earned her trust and honesty.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">It made me chuckle that Lucy was going to try to impersonate her twin, injured brother, Lucien, for a horse race. I would have loved to read how the story unwound if she actually would have achieved that task.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Lord \u00a0Perdan&#8230;what a schmuck! Too bad he didn&#8217;t kick a horse&#8217;s kick in the ass!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">The story moved a little slow in the beginning.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t close the book.\u00a0 Good read for &#8220;sweet&#8221; historical lovers.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">I&#8217;ll be watching for Volume #2! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bookenthusiastpromotions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Meet-the-Author.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24042 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bookenthusiastpromotions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/meet-the-author.png?resize=455%2C148\" alt=\"meet the author\" width=\"455\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the moment she could put pen to paper, Mariel Grey knew she wanted to be a writer. Like all good adventures however, it didn\u2019t happen overnight; it was after several decades of working in litigation that the desire to create dramatic worlds and characters became too great to ignore. Her first foray into historical romance, Surrender of Trust, explored the grime and glamour of regency horse racing, following the determined but impoverished Lucy Goodwin and upright Lord Chalifour. Her second novel, A Gentleman\u2019s Surrender, introduced the innocent Lady Monique and tortured Mr. Stanton, both struggling to find love in a world filled with deceit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though entirely at home in the ballrooms and street alleys of London past, Mariel Grey is currently working on a contemporary story set in Florida, a landscape dear to the author\u2019s heart. When she isn\u2019t conjuring words on her computer screen, Grey can be found on the water fishing, snorkeling, and enjoying the incredible natural beauty of her home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mariel has a wonderful husband (the hero of her own romantic story) as well as two mischievous rescue kittens (who are quite happy to play the role of villains). In addition to being a dutiful wife and animal wrangler, Mariel is a member of the Romance Writers of America and affiliated chapter of the Ancient City Romance Authors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p
