The Pleasures of Passion

by Sabrina Jeffries Narrated by Justine Eyre

Overview

Complete with the signature charm, “delectably witty dialogue...and scorching sexual chemistry” (Booklist) she is known for, New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries is back with the fourth romance in the Sinful Suitors series!

When Niall Lindsey, the Earl of Margrave, is forced to flee after killing a man in a duel, he expects his secret love, Brilliana Trevor, to go with him, or at the very least wait for him. To his shock, she does neither and sends him off with no promise for the future. Seven years and one pardon later, Niall returns to England disillusioned and cynical. And being blackmailed by the government into working with his former love to help catch a counterfeiter connected to her father doesn't improve his mood any. But as his role as Brilliana's fake fiancé brings his long-buried feelings to the surface once again, he wonders who is more dangerous-the counterfeiter or the woman rapidly stealing his heart.

Forced to marry another man after Niall was exiled, the now widowed Brilliana wants nothing to do with the reckless rogue who she believes abandoned her to a dreary, loveless life. So having to rely on him to save her father is the last thing she wants, much less trusts him with....But as their scheme strips away the lies and secrets of their shared past, can she let go of the old hurt and put her pride aside? Or will the pleasures of their renewed passion finally enable them both to rediscover love?

Seven years ago, the budding love between Niall Lindsey and young Brilliana Payne went down in flames when a duel of honor sent Niall fleeing to Spain and Bree refused to leave her ailing mother to her wastrel father's care. Now Niall is back as the new Earl of Margrave, with pardon in hand; Bree is a widow with a young son; and their mutual resentment—as well as their unacknowledged and unwanted emotions—still simmers between them. But any hope of ignoring each other is dashed when they are forced into a faux engagement to help track down a counterfeiter with links to Bree's father. Secrets, perceived betrayal, lack of trust, and family interference are only a few of the issues that come into play in this rewarding read. VERDICT Quick wit, lively repartee, and delicious sensuality drive the elaborate plot of this sinfully delightful addition to Jeffries's latest series. Jeffries (The Danger of Desire) lives in Cary, NC. [See "Summer Escapes," LJ 5/15/17, p. 76.]
