He isn’t the same man Lorelai fell in love with, his eyes are hard and dark, no softness to be found. Twenty years later, The Rook sweeps in to take his revenge, to claim what’s always been his- her. The sun will set in the west, and I’ll come for you. “There are only two indisputable facts in this world. She never imagined the promises he made would be so callously severed. While his identity and past hid in the locked, dark recesses of his mind, a young Lorelai Weatherstroke nursed the boy with the dragon tattoo back to health, giving him a name, her love, and a new lease on life. He once awoke in agony, mere breaths from death only to be saved by a stranger with a soft voice and caring hand. His siblings had been ravens, feasting on the dead.” His midwives were named fire and torment, delivering him into an unfamiliar world. And perhaps there is not greater example of the latter than with the story of The Rook-a man hardened by his past, insentient by reputation, notorious for his ruthlessness as the pirate king of the seas. But can she trust a man who’s been branded a rebel, a thief, and a killer? And can she trust herself to resist him when he takes her in his arms?Īn infamous pirate without name, past or memories to bind him, lays claim to the girl who once freed him from death’s vise in THE DUKE WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO.Īuthor Kerrigan Byrne’s Victorian Rebels series is my favorite new obsession-every story wildly coming to life with its tortured hero, fierce heroine and their against-all-odds love story. Like a phantom, he sweeps back into her life and avenges those who wronged her. Now, after all these years, The Rook has returned. And when he left, he took a piece of her heart with him. Crippled as a child, she devoted herself to healing the poor tortured man. Lorelai will never forget the night she rescued the broken dark angel in the woods, a devilishly handsome man who haunts her dreams to this day. And who calms the restless demons in his soul… His only hope for survival―and salvation―lies in the deep, fiery eyes of the beautiful stranger who finds him. He awakens in a mass grave, a magnificent dragon tattoo on his muscled forearm the sole clue to his mysterious origins. A man with no name, no past, no memories. These are the men who risk their hearts and their souls―for the passionate women who dare to love them…
