“Gabriel Fairchild’s valor during battle earns him the reputation of hero, but costs him his sight and his hope for the future. Abandoned by the fiancée he adored, the man who once walked like a prince among London’s elite secludes himself in his family’s mansion, cursing his way through dark days and darker nights.“Prim nurse Samantha Wickersham arrives at Fairchild Park to find her new charge behaving more like a beast than a man. Determined to do her duty, she engages the arrogant earl in a battle of both wit and wills. Although he claims she doesn’t possess and ounce of womanly softness, she can feel his heart racing at her slightest touch. As Samantha begins to let the light back into Gabriel’s life and his heart, they both discover that some secrets—and some pleasures—are best explored in the dark…”
Instantly I fell in love with Gabriel and his plight. He was a battered man who is struggling just to have the will to survive. He truly acts like a beast and it is only Samantha who can tame him with her starched ways.
That is, until the VERY surprising twist in the plot comes out and reveals more about Samantha than the readers would have guessed possible. I know I was most certainly shocked! The characters were beautifully written and the dialogue was wonderfully witty. I found myself smiling on more than one occasion at Samantha’s tactics and Gabriel’s insistence on making her life difficult.
