With This Ring
With This Ring
Crowing a magnificent succession of 13 "New York Times" bestsellers, with a combined total of 23 "New York Times" bestsellers, Amanda Quick, a.k.a. Jayne Ann Krentz, is "one of the hottest and most prolific romance writers today" ("USA Today"). Now Quick delivers the tale of a Gothic writer who finds herself drawn into a villainous plot in Regency England. Weaving passion, the supernatural, and mystery with her trademark wit, Amanda Quick will entrance readers coast-to-coast "With This Ring".
Leo Drake, the "Mad Monk of Monkcrest," is notoriously eccentric and unquestionably reclusive. But he is also a noted antiquities expert, which is why Beatrice Poole has demanded his reluctant assistance. The freethinking authoress of "horrid novels," Beatrice is searching for the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, a mythic treasure she suspects played a role in her uncle's death. Beatrice finds Leo every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels--and she's convinced he's the only one who can help her. But after only five minutes in her company, Leo is sure he's never met a woman more infuriating . . . and more likely to rescue him from boredom. Yet the alliance may well prove to be the biggest mistake of their lives. For a villain lurks in London, waiting for the pair to unearth the Forbidden Rings--knowing that when they do, that day will be their last. . . .
