The Tempting Lord

Seven Deadly Sins in Victorian London: Lust A mysterious and haunted manor filled with guests desperate for funds have been invited to partake in an unusual house party. One of them will solve the riddle and be named hair to the fortune, but there is more at stake than just money. Some might lose their minds, while others risk their hearts. One might even lose their life. Rexington Holland, the younger brother to the Earl of Walsh, has always been the scandalous one in the family. After a terrible mistake against his brother, he was forced to leave England and make his own way in a foreign land. Now he has returned with hopes of making amends for his past and finding his home again. An invitation from a distant relative offers him the best chance at gaining both, but another guest might prove to be too much of a distraction. Darla Capshaw made the mistake of trusting a man once and it cost her everything. Now, as the companion to an eccentric but wealthy woman, she has been given a second chance. The only thing standing between her and freedom is an overly handsome man. Surely she can resist his charms long enough to secure her future. She found him detestable the first time they met and conceit hasn't gotten more tolerable. Will these two enemies become allies, or even lovers, before time runs out?
