Temptation and Twilight

Iain Sinclair, Marquis of Alynwick, is certain there is a special hell reserved for him. An unrepentant rake, he holds nothing sacred — except beautiful Elizabeth York. For years he has tried to forget the woman he loved so well and treated so badly, a woman who could hold nothing in her heart for him but hatred.

All of society believes Elizabeth, the blind daughter of a duke, to be a proper young lady. No one knows of her affair with Alynwick. When Lizzy learns of her ancestor's ancient diary, filled with exotic tales, she longs to uncover the identity of the unnamed lover within, and hesitantly allows Alynwick — who claims to know of the 'veiled lady' — to help her solve the mystery.

Eager to be Lizzy's eyes, Alynwick brings the seductive text to life, and each night it takes greater effort for her to remember his betrayal. With each whispered word her resolve gives way, and neither realizes that a centuries-old secret is leading them toward a present-day danger.

The third book in Charlotte Featherstone's Brethren Guardians series.
