A betrothal made without his permission…

…the determined bride who refuses to renege.

Who will win this battle?

Lucien, Viscount Hastings, has no time for the English mouse his family has arranged for him to marry. He’s focused on locating the man responsible for the attack and murder of his wife and unborn child. Once he discovers their whereabouts, he’ll wreak revenge.

Cursed with the sight and rumors of witchcraft, Rosalind’s only chance at an ordinary life is marriage to the viscount. She doesn’t expect love, only security, and children of her own.

Life at Castle St. Clair is wrought with danger and secrets, and when a series of mysterious accidents plague Rosalind, she turns to her husband for protection.

Forced to keep Rosalind close, and tempted into passionate kisses, Lucien soon finds himself in grave danger of falling in love with his own wife…

You’ll love this gothic romance with a marriage of convenience, second chances, and two lost lovers who learn their destiny is to live together rather than apart.

Previously published as The Spurned Viscountess.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

USA Today bestselling author Shelley Munro lives in Auckland, the City of Sails, with her husband and a cheeky Jack Russell/mystery breed puppy.

Typical New Zealanders, Shelley and her husband left home for their big OE soon after they married (translation of New Zealand speak - big overseas experience). A year-long adventure lengthened to six years of roaming the world. Enduring memories include being almost sat on by a mountain gorilla in Rwanda, lazing on white sandy beaches in India, whale watching in Alaska, searching for leprechauns in Ireland, and dealing with ghosts in an English pub.

While travel is still a big attraction, these days Shelley is most likely found in front of her computer following another love - that of writing stories of romance and adventure. Other interests include watching rugby (strictly for research purposes), cycling, baking bread and curling up with a good book.

Very intense mystery drives this plot. Love the vixen, she is a headstrong character & very smart. Their journey to love is emotional and of course revealing of a few family secrets. Enjoyed this interesting regency.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2019
This is a gripping thriller that is full of intrigue, suspense and romance. Lucien was, as far as he new, just living his life. Until he was told that he is the missing heir to St. Clare. He doesn't believe it, but his wife talks him into going to find out the truth. On the way the are attacked, and his wife dies. Months later, he is living as George St. Clare, even though he's anything but convinced that that's who he is, when his father informs him that he is betrothed, and has been since he was a child, and that she's on her way to marry him. Lucien is still grieving for his wife and child, so he trues to discourage Rosalind from marrying him. But Rosalind sees him as her last hope for marriage, because everyone at home thinks that she's a witch because she can read minds. Rosalind is a fierce, caring and sweet woman. After they marry Lucien ignores her, he's not interested in having another wife or child. When strange things, like attempted murder on both of them, start to happen, Rosalind is determined to help Lucien find the perpetrator, even if it endangers her, which he can't help but admire. Things get more and more dangerous, and they both get more determined, her to help, him to keep her safe. It comes to a shocking conclusion that you don't see coming.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Language Issues & Little Romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2019
Rosalind is willing to participate in an arranged marriage to a man she doesn't know and who has lost much of his memory because she wants security and a family of her own. She doesn't believe this will happen through a more typical route because she has gifts that make her townspeople call her a witch. For his part, Lucien, the hero, does not really wish to marry again; he's more interested in finding out who was responsible for the death of his first wife and unborn child.

I actually found this book difficult to read because the author misuses so many words and phrases while trying to make this historical novel seem to have elevated language. Many choices were just flat out wrong or not wholly appropriate given what was being said or described. Some of the reactions of the characters seemed overblown. For instance, when Rosalind was on her way for the initial meeting at the castle, did she really have to screw up every last bit of her courage just to look out the carriage window? If that were really true, events later in the book should have totally paralyzed her. A lot went on to make this seem more gothic and suspenseful than a straight-up historical romance. Unfortunately, it felt like this entirely overshadowed the romance. There really wasn't much of an evolution of the romantic relationship. It seems like they were at odds for most of the book (and often separated) until the end when they suddenly loved each other (without having to do the work to get there). Also, I didn’t really see how the heroine was a vixen at all. With so many strange things happening around the castle, it seems odd that the hero would tell her to stay there to remain safe. At the end, I found myself wondering if the author shouldn’t have changed the last line since the title has been changed.

Because of the issues with language and the lack of the build of a true romance in the book, I can’t recommend this book.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Lucien aka Hastings is of nobility blood blood but sosent remember anything from before his wife Francesca in Italy. Lost his memory but fell in live with his wofe and she gonna have a baby. In Italy some English soliders attacked them killing and unborn child. He vowed revenge and never marry again . the. His father dound him and maming hin rewed.

This story yes is gothic and over all well i personally found baby this baby that constantnin book and annoying. Charles and thier friend Mansfield were funny and i do love humor/ witt in my books but all that baby buisness is kinda whinny and reminds me of a teen wanting to have a baby kind of whine. Other then that i reallu did wnjoy the book. Oh the unmasking of hawk was unpredicated identity shocked at whom it was.
