Story
Lucretia ‘Crecy’ Holbrook has a secret, a secret she has kept for many years. Even her dearest confidant and sister, Belle, would not understand what Crecy is prepared to do, the risks she is prepared to take, to get her heart’s desire. For Crecy is not like the other smiling débutantes; she despises poetry, thinks dancing a chore, and is quite prepared to throw something at the next fool to compare her to Aphrodite. Far more likely to return from a country walk with a badger’s skull and some bloody, injured creature than a posy of wildflowers, Crecy is drawn to the dark, the damaged, and the unlovable. Her heart longs for one man alone, one with a wounded soul, one so dreadfully damaged that even her tender care might not be enough to save him.

Dinah Osborne needs a husband and she needs one now. Not just any man will do. To meet the terms of her rather eccentric grandfather’s will, she must be safely engaged to marry a man of worth before her 21st birthday or she’ll not receive a penny of her rather large inheritance. Sadly her social climbing grandfather’s notions of worth and her own are not in the least alike, and nothing but a Lord will satisfy the terms of his will. But Dinah is alone in the world and has no entry into the select ranks of the ton. She does, however, know a thing or two about blackmail.

Being dared to kiss a man in the moonlight is all well and good, but men and moonlight do not fall from the skies at will. Until they do. Under instruction from a friend, drab Alice Dowding lingers alone on a moonlit balcony. Not the most sensible course of action for a usually sensible girl. Yet, being sensible has gained Alice a seat among the wallflowers, and her only likely chance of marriage to a man she finds nigh on repulsive. Something must be done.

Publisher's Summary
Dishonoured and ashamed, the ton's scandalous darling, "Beau" the Marquess of Beaumont, is forced to flee England to escape debtor's prison.
After a chance encounter, it appears Miss Millicent Sparrow is his only remaining friend, however unlikely.
Miss Sparrow lives up to her name. Damaged and terrified by her cousin's violent abuse, Milly is used to being overlooked and prefers it that way, until the desperation of her bleak world is gilded by rakishly handsome Beau's extraordinary friendship.
Miss Sparrow’s lively letters help Beau through his banishment and when his father dies suddenly and Beau inherits the Dukedom, he seeks out his little bird. To his shock he finds a woman in despair and, moved by pity, he offers her the protection of his name by marriage.
But Milly becomes impossible to overlook, and the more Beau needs his wife, the less interested she seems in her gorgeous husband.
For this rake, getting a woman's attention has never been so complicated.
Warning: This book is liable to contain mild swearing and descriptive sex scenes!

Excellent story and narration
I have to admit that I love EVL, and her books in this series are an automatic purchase. Having said that this is one of the best books I have read. The story of how a quiet, abused, but strong heroine blossoms into a wonderful woman is just a delight. There are several books with an ugly duckling to swan trope. In this book it is done with such detail and through natural evolution that it is so believable. The important part is not that the heroine becomes suddenly beautiful, but gains the confidence that was suppressed by her earlier abuse/fear. She uses all her abilities to become a woman she is proud of and that makes her husband comes to respect, like and then love her. Every woman should have this opportunity to bloom into such an amazing person. The hero is a little tarnished from the previous book ( you really have to read the previous book to get the full effect of his transformation). Where he was to where he ends up is an exercise in true growth and maturity. This is about how 2 people that ar good for each other and coming together makes them into better people. They help and support each other to gain a wonderful relationship. Philip Battley is just one of the best narrators around, especially when the story has a lot of dialogue. He performs a book like very few narrators. He puts in every chuckle, laugh, sniff and "bark" of laughter. you can tell he has read the material and planned how to narrate it to it's best. I just love his voice and wish that he would read more books. luckily he seems to have this series nailed down...so more well crafted performances to come!! I can't recommend this book enough. I have just finished and am going back to start it all over again. The h/h in this story makes me hope and believe that a HEA might just be real.
