To Ride with the Knight
(Girls Who Dare Book 10)
By Emma V Leech
A reckless beauty…
Lady
Helena Adolphus is no stranger to scandal. Her brother may be a duke,
but his black reputation once threatened her own chances of making a
good match. Now returned to the bosom of the ton, Helena is feted and
courted as much for her loveliness and wild green eyes as for her hefty
dowry. Yet the eligible bachelors leave her cold and respectability is
deadly dull. There is only one man who makes her pulse leap, and she
knows she’d be a fool to pursue him.
A ruthless man…
Gabriel
Knight understands desperation. Born into poverty and raised in a
foundling home, Gabriel used every opportunity to claw his way out of
the gutter. Now one of the wealthiest men in England, wicked Knight is
dismayed to discover his success has not bought him happiness. Restless
and bored, he blames his ennui on the pompous aristocrats he despises,
those who still close doors in his face.
An imprudent affair …
Though Helena is aware of Gabriel’s animosity for the ton that
shuns him, the sinful man tempts her beyond all reason. He is likely
out to ruin her, and she knows it, but her stupid pride won’t let her
back down from each confrontation. Before she knows what she’s doing,
Helena has opened her mouth and dared him to do something scandalous.
As
the heat of attraction flares hotter between them, the risk of getting
burned only makes riding with the Knight ever more enticing.
Lady Helena Adolphus and Gabriel Knight are from two very different worlds, but when they meet sparks are sure to fly! This novel is so well written, it has an engaging feisty heroine and a very attractive, and ambitious man who has quite literally raised himself from the gutter.
I thought this book was quite simply brilliant from start to finish; it is the perfect novel for whiling away a couple of hours.
