Regency. She'd put the shadows of her past behind her...Now Miss Sarah Hunter was delighted at the prospect of a Season in London--and at the opportunity to spend time with the man who'd once saved her life!But Mr. Elworthy was much changed. Rumors and secrets tarnished his honorable name, and the ton had begun to wonder where the truth of the matter lay. He found a staunch champion in Sarah--but as she defended him she was inexorably drawn into the mystery....
The third book in the Hellfire Mysteries, this tells the tale of Sarah Hunter and her quest for love. Skimming right over how she got over her past and she claims that she doesn't have nightmares any more she sets her sights on John Elworthy whose wife has conveniently and inconveniently died, probably by her own hand.
The story itself isn't bad but it's foundations aren't that solid. Sarah Hunter in this story is quite interesting but doesn't seem to have a slight edge of darkness and wariness that you would expect with a character with her background.
Overall not bad but a little disappointing.
