Charles and the Intruder (House of Catesby #2)
Sunny Brooks
Charles has been hit hard by his father’s death, although he has tried to remain strong for the sake of his sisters and mother. Finding it difficult to talk to anyone, he is astonished to learn that his father has left him both a small living and the townhouse in London.
The townhouse has not been used in a long time, and Charles knows that he is going to have to find a full contingent of servants. Yet he is excited to start this new chapter of his life. On arrival, he walks around the house, glad that his mother has sent a few supplies along with him. He is surprised to find signs that the house has been lived in, but settles down for the night nonetheless.
Waking to find a sword pointed at his face, he finds an angry young woman demanding to know if he has sent him. Managing to finally get the truth from Abigail, he discovers that she is on the run from her betrothed, the cruel Lord Harrington and has been hiding in the seemingly abandoned Catesby townhouse for a few days. With no other plan for what to do next, she begs for his help.
Charles, attracted to the lady despite his better judgement, offers to help her. However, his faith is put to test when he hears the rumors spread of the great many scandals she has been involved in. Despite her explanations, Charles’ suspicions are raised and he no longer knows who to trust.
When Abigail disappears, Charles must decide once and for all who and what to believe. Abigail’s fate lies in his hands. With his roguish sidekick, the affable Lord Richard, at his side, Charles must navigate his new city life and figure out what is truth and what is fiction.
Will Lord Charles Catesby help the beguiling Miss Abigail Sidmore? Or is he in for the swindle of his life?
