This. July 2013.
Lowborn David Lauriston lacks the family connections needed to rise in Edinburgh’s privileged legal world. Worse, his latest case—defending powerless weavers accused of treason—has brought him under suspicion of harbouring radical sympathies.
Troubled by his sexuality, tormented by memories of a man he once platonically loved, David lives a largely celibate life—until a rare sexual encounter with a compelling stranger turns his world on its head.
Cynical and worldly, Lord Murdo Balfour is more at home in hedonistic London than dingy, repressed Edinburgh. Unlike David, he intends to eventually marry while continuing to enjoy the company of men whenever he pleases. Yet sex with David is different. It’s personal, intimate, and instead of extinguishing his desire, it only leaves him hungry for more.
As David searches for the government spy who betrayed the weavers, he begins to suspect that his mysterious lover has more sinister reasons for his presence in Edinburgh. The truth could leave his heart broken… and more necks stretching on the gallows.
Wow, what a lovely cover! I’m looking forward to it. (Loved Unforgivable. I do admire you for writing distinctly different books each time.)
Hi HelenaJustina! So sorry I missed this comment. Problem with the email address that picks up comments for this blog. So glad you liked Unforgivable.
So exciting!!
post in the wrong spot earlier, I think.
Re: Provoked. (the pic on the homepage would’ve suited the book’s cover nicely)
Nothing drives me crazy more than reading a good book and found out I’ve to wait months sometimes a year or more for the sequel/next volume. Downright sinful and should be outlawed -:).
Love the story. Very much. Hope to see/read the next two soon.
