Beautiful, flame-haired Mara Despenser, hater of the English under Cromwell, plots to lure her Irish castle's new master, the infamous bastard Earl of St Aubyn, into marriage. But when he takes her in his arms, his iron will and irresistible good looks turn her fiery anger into burning desire.
This is one of Reding's earlier books, and although it is a different time period and setting than what I normally read, I took a chance since I have enjoyed all of Ms. Reding's other stories. Am I glad I did! Mara and Hadrian brought such a wonderful story to Ireland's dark Cromwellian period. And the bathing scene is absolutely hilarious!
