It has been two years since antiquities expert, Evan Rhys, has
seen Kate, his best friend’s widow and the woman he has loved since
Conall Whelan first introduced his new bride to Evan. But now she is
in attendance at his Cambridge seminar on forgeries and asking him to
accompany her on a trip to Newmarket to meet her father, William
Chandler, at a race meet. But when she must return to her children
and Whelan House in Ireland, Evan decides to follow his heart and
continue on with her. Together Kate and Evan begin to beat back the
loneliness, grief and anger they have been living with. Evan wishes
for Kate to see him as more than a friend, but soon new questions
arise concerning the circumstances of Con’s death and Kate fears
that Evan will become one more injury to her heart.
Romain’s Romance
of the Turf series has a
unique style of storytelling for the regency romance. In the place of
balls among the ton, there are road trips among horses. Instead of
rakes and rogues in the gossip rags, Evan, and Nathanial Chandler
from the first book, deal with their personal struggles quietly, but
are still captivating heroes with great rapport with the ladies they
love. And the overarching mystery that began in A Gentleman’s
Game continues in this
book, adding a little element of
intrigue to this friends-to-lovers romance.
