the misunderstandings and deceptions of the past to forge a life together,

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?
