Fallen Angel

by Mary Jo Putney

A desperate attempt to help her fellow villagers leads a determined schoolteacher from the safety of Wales to the dazzling whirl of Regency London as she accepts the challenge of a dangerously attractive man.

Haunted by the betrayals of his past, Nicholas Davies, the half Gypsy Earl of Aberdare, returns to Wales after years of absence, determined to sever all ties with his ancestral home so he can leave forever.

But the estate and village have suffered in his absence, and only teacher Clare Morgan has the courage to confront the Earl and insist he fulfils his responsibilities. Nicholas offers an impossible challenge that will ruin her reputation, secure in the belief that she will refuse.

Furiously Clare accepts his outrageous demand, and finds herself drawn into a glittering Regency world of danger and desire. As allies, she and Nicholas fight to save her community. As adversaries, they explore the hazardous terrain of power and sensuality.

And as lovers, they find a passion that might heal or destroy...

First book in the Fallen Angel series of seven exciting adventures.
