"strong de Warenne Regency romance"
In 1820 her family's aristocratic standing makes Ariella
de Warenne part of high society, but her free thinking
behavior keeps her outside not looking in; she just does
not care what the Ton thinks. So when a Gypsy band sets
up camp on her family's Derbyshire estate, she visits
without a second thought towards proper behavior. She
stunned to find herself attracted to the Roma leader
Emilian, who to his inner turmoil reciprocates. Unbeknownst to Ariella, the recipient of her affection is
also her affluent neighbor, Lord Emilian St. Xavier. When
he was little, his aristocratic father abducted him from
his Roma mother because Emilian was the heir. He detests
his title and his peerage as his only desire is vengeance
against the mob who murdered his mother. Thus when he
feels an attraction to the female de Warenne, Emilian also
feels self-loathing until he decides Ariella is an
expendable pawn that he will publicly ruin. Emilian does
not know that messing with a de Warenne in love is more
dangerous than facing the late Napoleon and his French
army. A DANGEROUS LOVE is a strong de Warenne Regency romance
starring two aristocratic outsiders who scorn the
trappings of the Ton. The story line is fast-paced, but
character driven as each of the lead pair has a scheme to
win their heart's desire; hers being him while his being
revenge. Though both protagonists are similar to many
fictional Regency protagonists, Brenda Joyce refreshes
them with Attitude that provides fans with a marvelously
entertaining entry in her delightful long running
historical saga. Harriet Klausner
