ROCKLIFFE SERIES recommended by Hilary Rose of THE TIMES
B.R.A.G. MEDALLION HONOREE
Tragedy drove him into unwilling exile. Death demands his equally reluctant return. In the decade between, he has answered to many names and amassed a variety of secrets. Now the actor known to Paris as L'Inconnu must resume his real identity and become Francis Adrian Sinclair Devereux, Earl of Sarre... a man he no longer knows how to be and whose name, thanks to the malice of a friend turned enemy, remains tarnished by an old scandal. Revenge, so long avoided, slithers temptingly from the shadows. Grand-daughter of a wealthy wool-merchant, Caroline Maitland is not finding her Society debut either easy or enjoyable... but to Marcus Sheringham she is the perfect solution to his crushing mountain of debt. Knowing she will be married for her money, Caroline never believed she would find love. But neither did she bargain for a certain charming French highwayman... and a surprising turn of events. The stage is set, the cast assembled and the Duke of Rockliffe waits for the curtain to rise. In the wings, Lord Sarre prepares to make his entrance. He doesn't expect to be greeted with applause.

"This is what historical romance should be."
"Captivating historical romance"
"Brilliant series, brilliant writer"
"This is an incredible, page turning historical romance which held me captive until I had finished the last page. I found it difficult to put The Player down. When I did, it called me to go back to the stage set by Stella Riley and wait for the curtain to rise." (Readers' Favorite)
