![]() ![]() All is revealed when Annalise was seen by the Duke in town. ![]() He brings her to recuperate in his London town house and starts to fall for her. Annalise comes to about a week later and decides not to tell Own who she really is. He rescues her and meets a band of gypsies on the way who reluctantly agrees to help them. She is found miles away by Owen Crawford, the Earl of McDowell who just came back from the war trying to forget his past. Anxious for her wedding night, Annalise doesn’t realize that her new husband plans to kill her until it’s too late and he smothers her with a pillow and throws her overboard and left for dead. They go off on their honeymoon on a barge with only the Duke’s valet for company. We get to met Annalise, the bastard daughter of one of the richest men in London who just wed a Duke. Plus, the title was so catchy! I also slightly remember reading the first book of the series but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the details. I bought this book on a whim because I loved the blurb. If it is not purged it is just as lethal as any dagger”Īll in all, I thought it was an OK read and it is not something that I may read again, though. ![]() An heiress is “killed” by her titled husband (a Duke, no less) on the eve of her wedding for her inheritance but was found and rescued by a third son (who is an Earl, on his mother’s side). ![]()
