A Lady Trapped in a Lustful Storm

A Historical Regency Romance Novel

By: Henrietta Harding

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Lydia Carter, the eldest daughter of the Marquess of Briarwood, cared more about seeking justice for tenant farmers than ball gowns and the marriage market. Yet, as the season's biggest social event approached, Countess Winstone's ball, she found herself unable to avoid attending. To her surprise, a chance encounter with a half-dressed trespasser, who turned out to be the Countess's eldest son, Joseph, ignites a sizzling passion within her. As a storm traps the guests in the manor, dangerous secrets begin to unravel, along with burning desire.

Would Lydia risk her family's reputation by pushing the boundaries of propriety?

Lord Joseph Penton knew his mother would insist he find a wife this season. Yet, all he could think about was the feisty green-eyed nymph by the spring who had ignited his deepest desires. When he finds her again at his family's ball, he devises a scandalous plan: offer Lydia a compelling reason to agree to a fake engagement in order to stop his mother's meddling. However, as their scheme unfolds, Lydia makes her own sinful requests and Joseph realizes she is more than meets the eye.

Will he be trapped in his own lustful deal?

As Joseph and Lydia navigate their growing passion behind closed doors, other notorious guests, also trapped at Winstone House, take a devilish stand, determined to destroy their romance. Lost among unspoken secrets, family scandal, and the relentless pursuit of a cunning woman, Joseph and Lydia's worlds are stretched to a breaking point. Will they find the road to each other's hearts? Can they fight against lies and schemes, or will they become pawns in their own game of seduction?

So well written and fun to listen to!

The honesty and banter in this book had me immediately hooked! I love a girl who can “say it like it is”. The love scenes are all so good and not as repetitive as that type of scene can be…the story around the scenes is interesting and captivating! I liked how the author didn’t prolong the troubling situations but moved us along to solutions. It made the story easy to follow while I was doing other things. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author!
