One Night of Surrender: the Brothers Mortmain, book 1 (2013)
“He had been on Hounslow Heath on that fateful day, where the Great Western Road left London, and where he had a clear view of any approaching coach. Until now it had all been a bit of a lark, a bit of fun, a dare. But on that night he’d found himself wondering about his choice of entertainment.
He’d always liked danger. All of them did; Gervais and his two brothers, and probably their father too. Why else go to India if not for the danger and the adventure? There was no need for the money—the f...amily had enough wealth that they never needed to worry about money—although the earl had done very well with his Indian connections.
Their mother had died when Gervais was very young and he barely remembered her. While their father, the Earl of Mortmain, was away, his boys, under the care of easily manipulated governesses, had been allowed to run wild. It was rare for any of them to be caught out in an offence serious enough to bring their father home and they almost always remained unpunished for their misdeeds.MoreLess
