THE ROGUE'S REVENGE 2/2002 Regency Learning of his grandfather's death almost a year after his passing, disgraced nobleman, Robert Amberley (Rogue Robin, to his friends) returns to England after a decade of ignoble adventuring to clear his name and claim his legacy as the Duke of Lynkellyn. Although Robin inherits the title and ducal estates by right of birth, the old duke's personal fortune is bound by stipulations. To claim the money, Robin must marry within a year of the duke's death and produce a child from the marriage within two. Otherwise, his treacherous cousin, Giles Bridland, the author of his disgrace and exile, will inherit the fortune. With only a fortnight remaining until the first anniversary of the old duke's death, Robin is desperate to find a suitable bride. Lucia Cothcourt, a spirited governess with her own dark secret past, pays little attention to the rumors & wicked tales of the scandalous duke that fill the local drawing rooms. After all, they move in totally separate worlds. His Grace, however, is not quite so indifferent to her. Rejected by his first choice, a young lady just out of the schoolroom, his fancy lights on the older and wiser Lucia and he offers her a marriage of convenience. When Lucia turns him down, he abducts her and forces her into marriage. Determined to clear his name and take his rightful place in Society, Robin takes Lucia to London to prove the legality of their marriage and claim his fortune. In London, they find that not only Giles, but the entire Polite World seems to be against them. Even more unsettling, Sir Winston Rochedale, a bitter enemy from her past who has wormed his way into Society, is threatening Lucia with blackmail. Then someone raises the stakes with a murder attempt first on Robin, then Lucia. Faced with such deadly animosity, can Robin and Lucia overcome their distrust of each other enough to stand united against their foes without surrendering to the most dangerous adversary of all: the unrelenting urgings of their hearts?
