Sinful (Hot Regency Romance Novella)
“Lyan went home. Walking up the steps to his house normally cheered him.
It pleased him to be able to provide a home like this for Laura.
She had spent twelve years in the slums, but those memories were fading. He wanted to keep it that way. She deserved to think of this as her world.
He gazed up at the elegant façade with its rows of mullioned windows glinting in the sun, the neat blue door, the freshly painted wrought iron fencing, the promise of security and position. He’d rented the house with the rewards he’d earned as a Runner. Once he became the Earl of Delamore, he would give it up and take Laura to the earl’s London house, an enormous mansion on Park Lane. Laura was seventeen. Now that he’d been confirmed as the long-lost heir to the Delamore title, he could give her the come-out she deserved.
Lyan paused with his hands on the smooth, painted railings that framed the steps. Earl of Delamore.
He’d never believed his mother’s tale—that she’d been wed at sixteen to an earl’s youn...ger son, abandoned by him, and finally widowed when the young man had died of consumption.MoreLess
