Simon Atwood, Lord Granger, once gave all for his country—and paid the price. Now, his handsome face haunted by a secret sorrow, Simon has undertaken a mission far closer to home, but no less dangerous. And though he hesitates to risk her safety, he must seek the help of Jane Chatham, an enchanting dance teacher who could prove a worthy partner—in espionage and in love.
Forced to live by her wiles far from her well-bred country upbringing, Jane Chatham is suspicious of every man’s intentions, even those of a gentleman like Simon Atwood. After all, she knows nothing of this enigmatic nobleman, and has no reason to believe his promises. Keeping him at a distance should prove simple for the resourceful, quick-witted beauty . . . until she finds herself mesmerized by Simon’s dark and dangerous ways, consumed by a passion that puts her very life at stake.
Why Dark and Dangerous Ways?
I read quite a few years ago but like with many of Layton’s older titles, highly underrated. This is a story that has great chemistry and characters that are very likable from the beginning. Both Simon and Jane are fabulous characters. Strong, independent and passionate about life.
Sounds like a great read. I need to try to read older romances! Thanks for highlighting this!
This is a great feature. Shows how vast the book universe is and what we’re missing. 😉
I haven’t read anything by Edith Layton but this does sound like a good read. There are so many older works that I need to take a look at. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, for chemistry. I’ve seen her books forever and still need to pick one up.
I don’t think I’ve even seen her name. Thanks for the heads up!
