Temptation knows no bounds…
Undercover agent Sam Hawkins has devoted his life to protecting king and country. So when he receives orders to assassinate a ruthless traitor, he doesn’t question his mission. But Sam didn’t know his deed had a witness—the beautiful and mysterious betrayer’s wife. Now he has no choice but to take her as his prisoner—one he can neither trust…nor resist.
Élise, Lady Dunthorpe, will do anything to escape her powerful captor—including seducing him senseless. She didn’t know of her miserable husband’s crimes, but she has secrets of her own, secrets that threaten everything she holds dear. With his piercing dark eyes and gentle touch, Sam inflames Élise’s deepest desires, but how could she ever trust a man who won’t let her go? Caught between the crown he’s sworn to serve and the woman he’s come to love, Sam will risk his heart—and his very life—to keep her safe.

MY THOUGHTS:
THE SCOUNDREL’S SEDUCTION by Jennifer Haymore is an exciting Regency Historical Romance. #3 in “The House of Trent” series, and what a series! Can be read as a stand alone, but I would strongly recommend reading the series in it’s entirely. See,”The Devil’s Pearl”(Novella), “The Duchess Hunt”, “His By Christmas”(Novella), “The Rogue’s Proposal” and “One Night With an Earl”(Novella).
This is Sam Hawkins and Elise, Lady Dunthorpe’s story! Sam is an undercover agent, the eldest, albeit the illegitimate son of the Dowager of Trent, and devoted to his country. Elise, is the wife of a traitor, and a witness to his demise at the hands of Sam, who was sent to assassinate the traitor, Lord Dunthorpe. Sam was left with only two options, kill Elise, who witness the assassination or take her prisoner….can he trust her or was she a part of the traitor’s plot?
Follow, Elise, and Sam as their navigate the waters of passion, betrayal, trust, seduction, adventure, danger, and love. Oh, and we find out the mystery of the missing Dowager Trent, which started this whole adventure in book 1.
Sam and Elise have many obstacles and dangers to overcome if they are to risk their hearts and save Elise’s life. Oh, I forgot to mention, Sam has been ordered to eliminate Elise, as a possible threat to the country. Fast paced and filled with passion and love. I love the way Ms. Haymore brings the Trent siblings together, how they work together to help each other no matter the consequences or the reasons. Ms. Haymore is a wonderful storyteller who writes with passion, and fills the reader with romance and warmth. A must read Historical Romance. Rather you enjoy historical romance, or romance itself, this is a great tale of romance, love and seduction. Received for an honest review.
