Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries delivers the fourth novel in her Hellions of Halstead Hall series, filled with “lively repartee, fast action, luscious sensuality, and an abundance of humor” ( Library Journal ).
Lord Gabriel Sharpe has spent the last seven years, since his friend Roger Waverly’s death, drowning in guilt and dealing with it the only way he knows how: accepting the challenge to any race, no matter how dangerous. When Virginia Waverly challenges Gabe to race the same course as the one that killed her brother Roger, Gabe realizes that Virginia is just what he needs to fulfil his grandmother’s ultimatum: marriage or no inheritance. With General Waverly accusing Gabe of Roger’s death and Virginia’s refusal of him upon learning about his inheritance, Gabe is getting farther and farther from his goal of convincing Virginia to marry him. The only way he can think to show her he cares is to denounce his inheritance and make his fortune by winning the race—and her heart. Review:"The lively fourth Hellions of Halstead Hall Regency romance (after How to Woo a Reluctant Lady) will delight readers with mystery, passion, and laugh-out-loud dialogue. Lord Gabriel Sharpe lost his best friend, Roger Waverly, in a terrible carriage-racing accident. Still guilt-wracked seven years later, Gabriel accepts any racing challenge, seeking both funds and death. When Roger's sister, Virginia, challenges him to a race on the same fatal course, Gabriel realizes that wedding her could fulfill his grandmother's demand that he marry or be disinherited, while helping Virginia and her grandfather keep up their failing stud farm. But Virginia swears she'd 'rather immerse in a vat of leeches' than let Gabriel court her, and the tragic past is a wedge between them even as their mutual smittenness develops. Marvelous characterization, lively conversation, and drama perfectly leavened with humor makes this a grand romantic adventure. (Dec.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
