Lord Despair (Beastly Lords) - 7753

From the lush English countryside to the glittering society of Victorian London, Lord Despair thought he’d left the worst behind him in the Burmese jungle. He was wrong! How can a man embrace his birthright when he cannot leave his bedroom? Lord Simon Devere returns from the Burmese War, haunted by vivid memories and powerless to know reality from dreams. He sits in the dark, incapable of believing he is truly home — and safe — in England. How can a clever young lady support her family after her father dies in debt? Jenny Blackwood is determined not to let her mother and sisters succumb to an unkind fate. Under the pretense of being a male bookkeeper, she soon acquires an unexpected client. A damaged aristocrat and danger in disguise . . . With the estate’s coffers mysteriously dwindling, Jenny goes where others fear to tread, into the darkened room of the unstable earl. Even greater peril lies ahead for them both, but the biggest threat to Jenny may be Lord Despair himself! Engaging characters, attention to period detail, and passionate romance with a touch of intrigue — you’ll find it all in the stories by USA Today bestselling author Sydney Jane Baily.
