The Secret Passion of an Enticing Earl: A Historical Regency Romance Book by Henrietta Harding

This story is disturbing in many ways, especially Arthur's sister. Arthur's father had to know something was wrong when Arthur refused to come home, and Rebecca had a short term baby with an elderly man whom she married three months after Arthur left. The mother is most complicate, because she could have stopped the wedding and brought Arthur home with the right words. I'm just glad the baby was a girl, because imagine the ramifications of what Arthur's sister had done to Arthur's first child. He wouldn't have been able to claim the Earldom because he was born in marriage to another man. The passion between these two could not be denied and even the evil that his sister perpetrated on them could not keep them apart even after six years. The story is good, but the writing seems to stutter at important moments. Overall the story is entertaining and makes you think that they should have sent his sister to a sanitarium instead of what they did.
