Born to one of England's most privileged families, Kellson Berkley yearns for the one thing his money can't individual acceptance. With his mind on business, "Kells" returns from abroad only to be blindsided by the beautiful American woman his flat mate has moved into the house. It doesn't take him long to understand why Bryant has begged for her hand in marriage, or for Kells to realize he'd do anything to have her for his own.With values as deep as her Southern heritage, it's hard for Cydney Nash to accept a marriage proposal from a virtual stranger. However, when the opportunity arises to apprentice with one of London's most prestigious architectural agencies, she moves into her "fiancé's" flat, despite the warnings from her protective father.But, it's Bryant's friend, Kells, who stirs her heart and jeopardizes her agenda of becoming an architect, leaving Cydney fighting to free herself from a web of greed and deceit that she'll be lucky to escape from alive.
Kellson Berkley (Kells) is completely stressed out. His job is hectic and his migraines are becoming his closest companion. Even a month long vacation in Costa Rica doesn't seem to help Kells outlook on life. Upon his return, he realizes that things are about to get much worse.
While Kells was away, his friend Bryant invited his latest fiancée Cydney Nash to move into Kells' apartment. Bryant then suddenly made a quick retreat to Italy to spend time with another woman leaving Cydney with a bunch of broken promises and lame excuses. At first, Kells believes the situation is going to be a huge hassle. Unfortunately, Cydney isn't half the irritation that Kells expected. In fact, she's quickly turning into his best friend and maybe even a little more as the two are drawn together by common interests, a love of adventure, and a feeling of easiness. This could get really complicated.
The Third Son has a good deal of drama and romance but is based upon a firm foundation of friendship, common interests, and respect. Unlike a lot of the whirlwind romances in other romance novels, the romance in this book is much more realistic, more complex, and more likely to create a lasting true love affair. This is a true love affair that we can all dream of and attain, even if we aren't the rich boy or the beauty pageant winner.
