SWEET SURRENDER

CHERYL HOLT delivers another fast-paced, exhilarating novel of passion, betrayal, romance, and love that will have readers turning the pages to the very end… Jackson Scott has returned to England—after swearing he never would. A decade earlier, he fled to Egypt, seeking fame and fortune as an African adventurer. But his brother, the Earl of Milton, has died, and Jackson has been named guardian to the mans young son. Hes chafing at the designation. He doesnt want to assist his bumbling nephew, doesnt want to deal with his scheming sister-in-law or domineering mother. Yet he cant resist their incessant pull. When beautiful, alluring Grace Bennett arrives unexpectedly at Milton Abbey, she has a young boy with her who she claims is her ward. She tells a fantastical tale about Jacksons brother. Its the story of a secret wedding. Of a secret love child finally brought home where he belongs. Of one boy who isnt the earl and one boy who is. Against his will, Jackson is attracted to Grace, and because he wants her so desperately, he cant decide what is real, what is true. As their worlds collide and their ardor ignites, Jackson must separate fact from fiction, must learn the truth about Grace, despite where it might lead him. Enmeshed in a risky and clandestine affair, his passion for her grows, but so does the danger from those who would keep them apart.
