Scoundrel (Lost Lords of Radcliffe book 4)
“It was late in the afternoon, the sun sinking in the west.
He was experiencing a peculiar swirl of emotions, conflicted about heading to England, not sure he wanted to, not sure he should. There was nothing for him in London, but then there was nothing for him in Africa either.
Where was a man supposed to go? How was he to establish himself?
He deemed the world a very unfair place. He was the son of a French count, and his father had purportedly loved his mother madly and passionately. But beca...use they’d never wed, he was no one at all.
He had three half-siblings in France, two brothers and a sister, but he’d never met them. He didn’t know any details about them, not where they lived or how they carried on.
His father had lost most of his land holdings during The Terror. Had his half-brothers been able to retrieve any of it? He hoped so. He wasn’t a petty person and liked to think they were thriving. He liked to think some of his father’s grandiosity and high status had benefitted them.MoreLess
