_#1_ New York Times _bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns to the
Cynsters’ next generation to bring you a thrilling tale of love, intrigue, and
fabulous horses.
A notorious rakehell with a stable of fabulous Thoroughbreds and a lady on a
quest to locate such horses must negotiate personal minefields to forge a
greatly desired alliance—one someone is prepared to murder to prevent._
Prudence Cynster has turned her back on husband hunting in favor of horse
hunting. As the head of the breeding program underpinning the success of the
Cynster racing stables, she’s on a quest to acquire the necessary horses to
refresh the stable’s breeding stock.
On his estranged father’s death, Deaglan Fitzgerald, now Earl of Glengarah,
left London and the hedonistic life of a wealthy, wellborn rake and returned
to Glengarah Castle determined to rectify the harm caused by his father’s
neglect. Driven by guilt that he hadn’t been there to protect his people
during the Great Famine, Deaglan holds against the lure of his father’s
extensive collection of horses and, leaving the stable to the care of his
brother, Felix, devotes himself to returning the estate to prosperity.
Deaglan had fallen out with his father and been exiled from Glengarah over his
drive to have the horses pay their way. Knowing Deaglan’s wishes and that
restoration of the estate is almost complete, Felix writes to the premier
Thoroughbred breeding program in the British Isles to test their interest in
the Glengarah horses.
On receiving a letter describing exactly the type of horses she’s seeking, Pru
overrides her family’s reluctance and sets out for Ireland’s west coast to
visit the now-reclusive wicked Earl of Glengarah. Yet her only interest is in
his horses, which she cannot wait to see.
When Felix tells Deaglan that a P. H. Cynster is about to arrive to assess the
horses with a view to a breeding arrangement, Deaglan can only be grateful.
But then P. H. Cynster turns out to be a lady, one utterly unlike any other
he’s ever met.
Yet they are who they are, and both understand their world. They battle their
instincts and attempt to keep their interactions businesslike, but the sparks
are incandescent and inevitably ignite a sexual blaze that consumes them
both—and opens their eyes.
But before they can find their way to their now-desired goal, first one
accident, then another distracts them. Someone, it seems, doesn’t want them to
strike a deal. Who? Why?
They need to find out before whoever it is resorts to the ultimate sanction.
_A historical romance with neo-Gothic overtones, set in the west of Ireland. A
Cynster Next Generation novel—a full-length historical romance of 125,000
words._
