About this audiobook
Orphan Gillie Muir makes ends meet by holding genteel card parties for friends and visitors to the newly fashionable spa town of Blackhaven. But when Lord Wickenden, known as the Wicked Baron, makes her a shocking proposal, her world is turned upside down. Jaded and bored, Lord Wickenden has his own reasons for joining the house party at Braithwaite Castle. One of them is to oblige an ex-mistress by detaching her son from the local gaming den hussy who has ensnared him. But, confronted by Gillie's unexpected charm and innocence, Wickenden abandons his original plan of simply taking her for himself. Instead, he becomes embroiled in her bizarre problems, which include saving her reputation and her life, keeping the Watch away from her card parties, and hiding an injured smuggler who was once kind to her. The infuriating and devastating Wickenden soon has Gillie's heart in a spin. But when she discovers he means to fight a duel over her-and everyone knows the wicked baron never misses-she'll go to any length to save his life and his soul. Even elope with another man.

"I'm being good. I just can't keep it up for very long." That describes Lord Wickenden, the Wicked Baron, perfectly!! I so enjoyed this story and from start to finish, there was never a dull moment. Between card parties, balls, smugglers and spies, such is Gillie's life! When she meets Wickenden, her life gets even more complicated and when her heart gets involved, she must make decisions that are not necessarily right. Not only is there excitement and danger in this story, there's also humour which I always love in an historical romance. Some of the meetings between Gillie and Wickenden had me laughing out loud, they never went right for her! lol I'm now looking forward to reading the rest of the Blackhaven Brides series!!
