Dark Redeemer #2

by Catherine Lloyd

King John is on the throne and Lord Sebastian Redford's profligate behaviour--drinking, card-playing and womanizing--is legendary at court. However, it is his brazen affair with the wife of the most powerful man in England, coupled with his night terrors that have put his life in danger. In an attempt to ward off disaster, Lord Redford's man hastily arranges a marriage of convenience to a mouse of a girl named Beatrice Fall. Sebastian's bride proves to be anything but convenient when she comes to his aid during a night terror. Forgetting himself, Sebastian consummates their marriage. But Beatrice Fall is not who Sebastian believes her to be, and quite suddenly, their marriage of convenience becomes a dangerous wedding of illicit love.

The H about the h, after she runs away because he didn't love her. More to the point is what is to be done now to recover her? ´´... She is not my first virgin, nor will she be my last. What’s done is done and cannot be undone. For my part, I do not regret it...´´ Sebastian is truly, one of the most disgusting heroes.
