The Wicked Lord Montague

The Wicked Lord Montague
Carole Mortimer

‘I have to inform you that your brother has died…’ Lord Giles Montague has always lived his life just the way he wants – fighting on the battlefields and fighting off the fawning ladies in London’s ballrooms. But the notoriously wicked Montague is now the reluctant heir to Castonbury Park!Having grown up with the Montague family, Miss Lily Seagrove finds her least favourite by far is Lord Giles! He’s arrogant, rude and oh, so infuriatingly handsome… But she’s a girl of Gypsy heritage, and although she might be able to get under Giles’s battle-scarred skin, she can never be Lady of the Manor…

Survival of the fittest is fine, so long as you’re the one on top … but the family that has everything is about to lose it all …

The Montagues have found themselves at the centre of the ton’s rumour mill, with lords and ladies alike claiming the family is not what it used to be.

The mysterious death of the heir to the Dukedom, and the arrival of an unknown woman claiming he fathered her son, is only the tip of the iceberg in a family where scandal upstairs and downstairs threatens the very foundations of their once powerful and revered dynasty …

Castonbury Park

My dear Giles,

Your reluctance for responsibility, my son, has been apparent since you were a child. But under these tragic circumstances it is your duty to step into the shoes of your missing brother and hold this family together. It is what families do and, during times such as these, I will only ask you once to put your frustration aside and keep your opinions quiet. You are now, whether you like it or not, the new heir to Castonbury Park.

Your father
