The second sexy historical romance in Julia London's new Regency-era "Desperate Debutantes" trilogy about three aristocratic sisters who resort to desperate means to keep up appearances when they are left destitute by their stepfather.
Desperate to avoid being married off to the first bidder by her guardian aunt's stingy second husband, Greer Fairchild (Ava and Phoebe Fairchild's second cousin who grew up with them as their sister when her parents died) travels to Wales to obtain an advance on her inheritance from her uncle. When she reaches her destination she learns her uncle died, and a distant relative by marriage, the earl of Radnor who is the honorary prince of Powys (a hereditary title as he is a descendant of the ancient Glendower princes), controls her inheritance. Greer travels more deeply into untamed Wales to a huge castle where Radnor lives. Rumour has it that Radnor murdered a young woman who bore his son out of wedlock. Not only does the prince refuse to give Greer her inheritance, he locks her up in his castle until he receives a letter from London that confirms her true identity.
Although Greer is his prisoner, she is free to roam around his castle. And as Greer spends time with the rough, lonely prince he becomes more attractive to her. But Greer finds a portrait of her mother, who's been dead for thirteen years, in the castle. Why? Additional questions arise as to whether a young woman who lived at the castle died by murder or suicide. Until Greer can put all the pieces together, she must fight the increasingly strong attraction that's flared between her and the prince.
