Liz Carlyle takes the reader on a
journey of sensuality and love in A WOMAN OF VIRTUE. With
characters that are portrayed in a credible light, this romance
weaves between desire, passion and a love that was always there.
Lord David Delacourt has wanted Cecilia Markham-Sands from
the first moment he saw her. That was of course the first time
he drunkenly tried to force himself upon her, nearly ruining
her, but a last minute reprieve allowed David to escape marriage
to the young beauty. Six years later and newly widowed, Cecilia
has once again come into his life by way of the mission that
David has been asked to perform. The object of his desire is now
before him instead of torturing him in his fantasies.
Cecilia has never truly forgotten how the dashing and
arrogant Delacourt made her feel that day. In fact, she never
has forgiven him for awakening feelings in her that she never
knew existed and hadn't felt since. But how can she feel
anything toward him when he has pointedly snubbed her the past
six years in society? Being with him on the mission only proves
to Cecilia that her feelings lie deeper than she first thought.
Though he has said he would not marry, Cecilia is determined to
win his heart and soul.
With Carlyle's mastery of love scenes, and her description of
burgeoning love and unrequited desire, the highly sensuous A
WOMAN OF VIRTUE will leave you breathless. Characters show depth
and strength to allow the reader to believe that the feelings
portrayed, though confusing for both, are real. I recommend A
WOMAN OF VIRTUE if you are ready for a romance that sizzles
right off the page and into your heart.
