Black Knight

Gentlemen of Knights, Book 2

By: Elizabeth Johns

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

A rake and an independent female find themselves tangled in the web of a marriage of convenience....

Lord Heath Knight is the quintessential wastrel second son. He has spent his youth raking and making merry to be as opposite of his brother as possible. When he finds himself almost dead, his dictatorial older brother has had enough and issues an edict for him to marry or be cut off. Heath decides to marry the most unsuitable lady he can in order to vex his brother the duke.

Cecilia Dudley is an heiress with a catch - her father is a cit. Her dowry is so vulgar that she has decided she would rather avoid marriage in favor of an independent life where she can live as she likes. When she suddenly finds herself married, she quickly realizes a marriage of convenience is not so convenient.

Heath quickly realizes he cannot ignore his new wife. Cecilia cannot accept his wild past and the baggage that follows him. Will Cecilia be able to resist the charms of a seasoned rogue?

I picked this series because of Alex and what a re

I love Alex Wyndham. I will follow him into about any series. This is a great series. It has witty writing. I can't wait for book number 4

The family's togetherness and willingness to forgive each other.

That Emma and the Duke were in the story with a baby,thus tying the 2 stories together.

Delightful story of romance!

Elizabeth Johns has added another beautiful Regency romance to the “Knight” series that is even better than the first. You will fall in love with all the members of the Knight family and the supporting characters, be warned! Do not try to read one of these books in the series if you’re due to go somewhere because it is very hard to put down and you’ll be late if you get there at all. Delightful narration, the accent is perfect and each character has a distinct voice. Well done!

Precious Love

The story was good. It was a bit different starting with a proxy marriage. Heath and Cecila struggle to find their love and relationship. And the awesome thing is that we get more story in lieu of erotica. I really am enjoying this author.

Elizabeth Johns knows romance!

Captivated by the Knight series. I love Cecilia's direct and truthful communications with Heath (the entire family come to that). The way John's writes female characters is refreshingly raw. She captures true intimacies of marriage, which have nothing to do with exploiting explicit sexual conduct. Elizabeth Johns writes honest and clean romances that intoxicate, and Alex Wyndham narrating is icing on the cake.
