Flawless

A passion this seductive is more precious than diamonds. . . .Sir William Christie, ruthless tycoon and notorious ladies' man, is dead. Now his four grown children have gathered for the reading of his will. What lies in store for stepsiblings Vivienne, Alexander, and twins Gareth and Gwyneth? Stunning challenges that will test their fortitude across a royal empire . . . and lead them to the marvelously passionate adventures of their lives. Lady Vivienne Bancroft fled England for New York, hoping to shed the confines of her arranged marriage to unrepentant rogue Miles Durham, Viscount Bancroft--though she never forgot the fiery desire he unleashed with his slightest touch. And when the gambling man arrives on her doorstep for a little sensual revenge for her desertion, he is met with Vivienne's dilemma: She must earn her father's inheritance by profitably running a diamond business worth millions in colonial South Africa. Swept together in an exotic undertaking filled with heated passion and hungry temptation, will Vivienne and Miles discover that the marriage vows they once made are the greatest snare--or the most treasured reward?Review"Lofty's splendidly original romance will dazzle readers with its multi-layered characters, passion-rich plot, and unique historical setting." ~ The Chicago Tribune"Lofty begins a new, exciting adventure series with a bang. She cleverly lures readers into an adventure and captivating sensual romance." ~ RT Book Reviews"The emotional impact of this novel is unerring and brilliant." ~ Eloisa James"The setting was beautifully and lovingly drawn and pulled you right in. This is a wonderful, different historical." ~ All About Romance"I always look forward to a Carrie Lofty book because I know I'm in for an emotional love story with a rich eye to detail." ~ The Book Pushers From the AuthorI have a special place in my heart for Viv and Miles--for their strength, vulnerability, and hard-fought faith in one another. I hope you've enjoyed their story of reunited passion!Countless people's lives were bettered by the opportunities in Kimberley, but very little about the diamond trade has been flawless. In setting Viv and Miles' story in Cape Colony, I hope I have done justice to the balance between hardship and romance. As with all settings throughout history, both must have existed in Kimberley.As always, I look forward to your comments! I welcome you to visit CarrieLofty.com and follow me on Twitter (@CarrieLofty).
