Description
Lady Liberty Davencourt's father vowed to his wife at their marriage he'd not allow scandal to taint their family.
Liberty knows convincing him to allow her to marry Levi Longfellow, the man of her heart, her 'particeps criminus' from the schoolroom, will be a test of their obstinate wills.
Levi's mother might have been a 'lady' once, and governess to the children at Stannesford Hall, but she'd married the miller of Stannesford village. Which made Levi's hopes to marry Lord Stannesford's daughter a foolish man's impossible dream.
But it doesn't stop him from longing for her, stealing a kiss when he can, and leaving tokens for her in their childhood haven, the 'lightning tree'. Or from trying to better himself by developing his father's stables into a stud and handcrafting furniture for the home he hopes one day to share with Liberty.
No match in obstinacy for her father, Liberty must concede. She marries the elderly Earl of Earnslaw, under severe duress. On the eve of her marriage she visits Levi and seduces him into taking her virginity and they pin their dreams on Lord Earnslaw's early demise.
By the time he has a stroke as they're returning to Stannesford for a visit, she's come to appreciate his loving and forgiving nature. But when the doctor tells her Josiah could linger indefinitely in his current state -- semi-bedridden, inarticulate, but mentally alert -- she's torn between her obligations and duty to an old man who would give her anything within his power and her lifelong love and desire for Levi.
If fate gave them the chance to be together, could happiness be theirs if it came at the cost of everything and everyone they love?
Wages of Sin is the stunning first novel in the Regency Rebelles series.
If you like the Bridgerton series, with its breath-taking love stories, and vibrant details, you'll love this book.
Lovely. Romantic. Satisfying.
