He has a prototype, and is at the stage of trying to get it built, but he is hampered both by financial considerations and the fear that if he lets anyone see his design, they will steal it. (None of it involves moths or ancient Greek, however.)Īnyway, Kevin has designed a device that will improve the efficiency of steam engines. Why yes, there is a lot of very hot sex in this book. Thus, at not yet thirty years of age, he had acquired an extraordinary expertise in fencing, mechanics, engineering, moths, ancient Greek, chemistry, and carnal sensuality. When a subject captured his attention, he investigated it thoroughly with a notable singlemindedness. He is rather eccentric, very focused, and has a tendency to be extremely direct and bulldoze through social mores. And for Kevin, this represents a big problem. The second of these women is Rosamund Jameson, and in addition to inheriting money, she has inherited the Duke’s share in Kevin Radnor’s business.
The basis of this series is that a Duke dies in suspicious circumstances, and it turns out that rather than leaving his money to his family, he has left it to three women from poor and working class backgrounds whom nobody in the family has ever heard of. This is the second book in the Duke’s Heiress series, but you really don’t need to have read the first book to enjoy it. While it was by no means a flawless romance, I adored the heroine, and there was one scene that hit me straight in the heart. Heiress in Red Silk is a book that hooked right into my emotions and gave me what I wanted and needed from a story right now. Content warning: attempted sexual assault of the heroine
