“The Beloved One” is the second novel in the “de Montforte Brothers” series and was released in the year 1998. Lord Charles was wounded in battle, and has awakened to find himself in the tender care of a sloe-eyed, sensuous local miss, whose beauty would be a joy that he’d treasure for all time.

Now fate has brought her the gentle yet strong guy of her dreams. However the handsome stranger is from some enemy land, and he has already sworn to love another.

Readers found Lord Charles to be one of the most romantic characters ever put in a romance novel. This is a truly wonderful love story and incredibly difficult to put down for very long.

However after getting caught in a compromising position with the rather tempting Lady Celsiana Blake, the defiant Lord Andrew is forced into marrying. This solitary man realizes that his brother duped him, for Andrew wouldn’t have ever taken this lady into his private chambers if it wasn’t for the Duke of Blackheath’s machinations. After all, the reluctant groom’s unbidden and sudden desire for this woman that would be his wife could only be referred to as a mere chemical reaction. But could it be something more?

There’s just one thing that a new wife on the verge of falling in love could do: attempt to win her husband’s wary heart.

The head of his noble family, the dangerous and dark Duke of Blackheath spends much of his time manipulating other lives without ever giving a thought to finding a wife for himself.

But Lucien has to admit that he finds the exquisite Eva de la Mouriere most intriguing. What red-blooded and adventurous male wouldn’t be intrigued by a falame-haired beauty that appears in his chambers demanding that he make sweet love to her? Certainly this hot-tempered minx would make a delightful bedmate, although definitely not a bride.

Eva realizes that Lucien is the cause of all of her current misfortunes, but he refuses to be humiliated. However the worst betrayer of all is her own heart. No match for Lucien’s seductive mastery, Eva craves the blackguard while she has never craved another. She has to resist this rogue, however how long can she deny her own passion, or Lucien’s blossoming genuine love, all in the face of his scheming family’s successful efforts to force a marriage?
