The Reckless Love of an Heir: A sizzling Regency romance full of wit and yearning from Jane Lark

A sizzling Regency romance full of wit, yearning and a dangerously seductive battle of wills. Will forbidden passion tear their lives apart?

For Lord Henry Marlow, the future Earl of Barrington, life is for living. No wager is too risky or challenge too dangerous – until a racing injury forces the Barrington heir to return home and fulfil his duty. But the one thing Henry will not do is bow to his parents’ wishes and propose to his childhood friend and neighbour, beautiful Alethea Forth. And he’ll not put up with her disapproving sister, Susan, either, no matter how much he enjoys their verbal sparring...

Independent, bookish Susan Forth has always thought Henry arrogant and self-centred, and has never hidden her dislike of the rogue! But this injured, vulnerable Henry reluctantly brings out her natural compassion, and a shocking desire for the man who is expected to marry her sister.

But when tragedy strikes, could their desires tear their lives apart?

The fourth novel in the addictively passionate Regency romance series The Marlow Family Secrets, for fans of Beverley Watts, Eloisa James and Bridgerton. Perfect for readers who love STEAMY, SPICY historical and regency romance, opposites attract, wounded heroes, loveable rogues and enemies to lovers.
