Serena Donovan left London six years ago, her heart broken and her reputation ruined by devilishly handsome Jonathan Dane. Now, with her family's future in peril, she reluctantly agrees to return to England and assume her late twin's identity. The price? Marry a man she doesn't love and spend the rest of her days living a lie.
Jonathan Dane, Earl of Stratford, has become an incorrigible rake, drinking, gambling-and trying to forget Serena Donovan. Yet the moment he's introduced to the prim and proper "Meg", he recognizes the sensual young woman who captured his heart. Haunted by his past mistakes, he refuses to lose Serena again. But convincing her to trust him is no easy task. Claiming his lost love means exposing the truth and destroying the life Serena has sacrificed everything to rebuild. With the future of all the Donovans at stake, and their undying passion capable of triggering yet another scandal, how much will Jonathan and Serena risk for a chance at true love?
I am still not sure about my feelings towards this book.
The plot is creative and yet a little odd. Serena is a fallen women. She falls in love with Jonathan Dane, and when things go awry, she is forced to leave in shame and return home. On her way back with her Sister Meg, there is a terrible storm and Meg is lost to sea.
Serena arrives back home and spends the next couple years trying to get by without her twin Sister. What she doesn't realize until it's too late, is that her Mother has told society that it was Serena that died at sea, and Meg is still very much alive.
Forced by her Mother, Serena is sent back to society as Meg, and will wed Meg's Fiance!!
There are a lot of twists and turns to this story that I never would have for seen.
The ending does turn out to be as Happy as it can be.
I give this book 3 out of 4 stars.
If you would like to give it a read, I am lucky enough to be able to give three of you the chance!!
