When a bluestocking spinster sets her mind to something…
Lady Patience Lane, daughter of the Earl of Desmond and legendary
boxer Ivory Bess, grew up learning to fight, not how to mind her manners. She
always expected she’d become a trainer like her mother, until injuries from the
ring led to her mother’s untimely death. Now, she’s determined to save other
families from the same heartache, by teaching others about the dangers of
boxing. Nothing could bring her back to the world she left—until she meets a
mysterious stranger who sets her pulse racing.
And a dark, dangerous lord interferes…
Sinclair Chambers, the Earl of St. Seville and known as “Sin” to
his cohorts, inherited an insolvent estate. He has to make money, and fast, or
his tenants will starve. The prize purses from the bareknuckle mills will go a
long way to solving his problems, if he can win them. To be a success in the
ring, he needs the best trainer, and Patience Lane is the best there is—all he
has to do is convince her that he’ll only fight once.
They just might find their happily ever after in each other’s
arms.
The more time Sin and Patience spend together, the closer they
become. Soon, Sin’s thoughts are less about winning in the ring, and more about
winning Patience’s heart. But can a relationship born out of wicked deception
stand the test of time?
REVIEW
Book 11 of Wicked Earl's Club series, it can be read as stand alone.
Sinclair Chambers, tall, strong, manly and hardworking, has just inherited the title of Earl of St Seville, but the estate was in a bad state and there was no money to save the land and its residents.
Unlike other nobles who soon think of marrying an heiress, Sin decides to make some money by fighting boxe.
But despite his physical strength and height, in his first fight, which he lost shamefully, he discovers that inside the ring the technique is more important than brute force.
Since he needed to earn a fair amount of money to save his land, he decides to hire someone to train him.
That's when Lady Patience appears in his life.
Daughter of Ivory Bess, Patience lived in the world of the rings. She knew all the tricks, techniques and dangers.
Patience was more concerned with passing on the information of the dangers involved the match, but Sin was able to convince her of his need.
With the passing of the days, the coexistence of both gives birth to a strong feeling.
Sin still had responsibilities on his back, but more importantly now, he wanted to win another kind of fight: Patience's heart.
EXCERPT
Perhaps she should have knocked.
Or, preferably, remained safely abed.
Before her stood a man, not one of her brothers
that she still pictured as boys even though they were two and four years her
senior, but instead a true man—stripped to the waist, his back to her.
Thank the heavens above for small miracles.
But to deny that her heart skipped a beat—or
ten—would be preposterous. In fact, as Patience stood, unnoticed, studying the
man now looking out Merit’s open window, she wondered if her heart would ever
beat a normal, steady rhythm again or if her skin would ever cool enough to
need an overcoat or shawl. It was only when her lungs began to burn that she
realized she’d held her breath since opening the door, a call of greeting stuck
in her throat.
One utterly forgotten.
So intent on the window, the man failed to notice
he was no longer alone.
There was no denying the stranger’s presence—an
unfamiliar masculine air filled the room. It was both intriguing and
frightening. Certainly, she’d witnessed men in various stages of undress, but
this goliath was different. Never had Patience been so utterly aware of her own
body, while distracted by the sight of another’s chiseled form. Her hands
itched to reach out at the same time they should be raising to cover her
exposed flesh, veiled only by her thin nightshift.
