Thorne Magnus Calder, heir to the Duke of St. Cyr has been betrayed by his own heart. Watching Quinn court the lovely Lady Alain was a pain so visceral he quit London for India. All Calder wanted was to put some distance between them and investigate the machinations of a group intent on establishing a skin trade in the heart of England. He didn't expect to be taken captive by a ghost. Lord Quintin Wyntor's heart has always belonged to Calder but their position in society --and the Queen-- requires they marry. The strain drives a wedge between them. As a man of honor, Quinn marries the very woman who drove that last wedge between he and Calder in order to save her. He never anticipated she would hand him the key to his freedom and their future. But when Calder receives word that Quinn and Celeste are married... It's a vow Calder refuses to break. Lady Alain forces Quinn to accept that his love for Calder cannot be denied and Quinn realizes that the risks they'll face together may not be as dangerous as their desolation as they attempt to survive apart. As Quinn chases Calder to India one thing is certain-- Quinn will not return to England without the man he loves. If they can conquer their differences together their little triumvirate may be given the grace to survive. > Warning: this is not simply a kissing book it's so much more.
