The Earl of Wythe is a notorious rake, with one goal in mind - to get Lady Joan Lecrox into his bed. Joan is doing the Season to please her Uncle Willy, who doesn't want Joan to settle for being an old maid, until she's had a taste of the Town. Joan is unique - she is also dead set on avoiding rakes and men in general, having learned some rather harsh lessons about impetuous passions. She is well aware of what Roger wants, and is determined to resist. Roger sets out to demolish her defenses, and a game of seduction and temptation begins. Whenever he can get Joan alone, he whispers to her, seductive, alluring promises that will introduce her to passion and the sensual world of lovers.

REVIEWS

"...Whispers in the Dark is a phenomenal read from Gayle Eden. Fans of historical romances will not be let down by this intense love story. Roger and Joan start off as the stock characters one expects in any Regency romance, the faithless rake and the shy maiden. Yet, as the story unfolds, Roger and Joan become three dimensional, endearing, and very realistic characters with quirks, tempers, habits, and foibles all their own. Joan stands out because she is the very opposite of what one expects in a Regency miss. She is brave, cynical about love and the Ton, and would rather spend the day in her country home riding her horse or chatting with her hired help. Roger seems to be the perfect caricature of a cad, but this is an affectation he puts on for the reader and for Joan. As he comes to trust and care for Joan, he lets her into his heart and lets her know who he really is; a man who loves adventure, who likes collecting rare treasures, and enjoys renovating Black Cross, the abbey he has recently purchased. Roger loves hard and plays hard, but he also longs for the simple things in life, though he’s afraid to give voice to those dreams."

"Exciting characters, an exhilarating romance, interesting characterizations, and snappy dialogue make Whispers in the Dark a fantastic read for every historical romance fan. Roger and Joan’s story will have you hooked from beginning to end."
