SynopsisEnter the unforgettable world of New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens, creator of the phenomenal Cynster family. This amazing clan -- and their friends -- is a bold, powerful group of men who let nothing stand in their way when it comes to matters of the heart. And in this, Stephanie Laurens's newest novel, a passionate man and a daring woman confront the ultimate question. . . . What Price Love? There is nothing more fascinating than a darkly handsome rake, especially one as controlled and elusive as Dillon Caxton, protege of Demon Cynster. Despite his dangerous air, Dillon is a man of sterling reputation, but it wasn't always so. Years ago, an illicit scheme turned into a nefarious swindle, and only the help of his cousin, Felicity, and her husband, Demon, saved Dillon from ruin. Now impeccably honest, he guards his hard-won reputation and is the Keeper of the Register of all racing horses in England. His standing and aloofness make Dillon undeniably desirable to young ladies, but despite all the lures thrown his way, he remains uninterested -- his attention unfixed. Until "Miss Priscilla Dalling" erupts into his life. A stunning beauty, she affects Dillon as no other ever has, but what fascinates him even more is that this tempting young lady is clearly desperate, and equally clearly lying about wanting to see the Register to fulfill the whim of an eccentric aunt. Lady Priscilla Dalloway will do anything to see what's in the Register -- even lie Her twin brother, Russell, who had fought with their father and left the family home to work with the finest racehorses, has disappeared. Pris knows that clues to his whereabouts can be found in the tome Dillon Caxton refuses to let her see. She unleashes her feminine wiles on Dillon -- to no avail. But Dillon is now determined to learn the truth behind her quest. Exploiting the powerful attraction that flares between them, he succeeds in convincing Pris to tell him all, to trust him with her twin's life. Together, Dillon and Pris locate Rus, only to discover that his life is being threatened by the perpetrators of a massive betting swindle. The time is ripe for Dillon to repay old debts by helping another as he himself was helped. Assisted by Demon, Felicity, and Barnaby Adair, Dillon and Pris embark on a journey riddled with danger -- and undeniable passion -- as they seek to overturn the swindle and expose Rus's deadly enemies. And along the way they discover the answer to that age-old question: What price love?, The Cynster experience - and Laurens phenomenon - continues with this lushly romantic follow-up to her internationally bestselling hardcover The Truth About Love. Dillon Caxton, protege of Demon Cynster, is disillusioned with love, jaded by the knowledge that ladies desire his handsome face and figure rather than the man. But as one of the elected guardians of the sport of kings, he has more pressing matters on his mind, namely a criminal scheme set to wreak havoc on the world he's sworn to protect. Enter Lady Priscilla Dalloway. She has no time for the men who swoon at her feet, seeing her only as a trophy to be won. Arriving in Newmarket to rescue her brother, unwittingly embroiled in some illicit scheme, she is forced to seek Dillon's assistance. Beginning as antagonists, the pair continue as co-conspirators, eventually progressing to lovers as they seek to identify the villain behind the illicit scheme. Along the way each learns what love can bring them, ultimately facing the question of what sacrifices they will make in order to secure that love.
