As the eldest daughter of an English earl, Lady Susanna Cavendish has led a sheltered life of privilege and leisure. She has been taught that her northern cousins, the Scots, are barbaric heathens with no regard for culture or civilization.
Notorious warrior Blair Ruthven is laird of the fiercest clan in Scotland Born into a society rife with blood feuds and an engrained hatred for the English, Blair learns at an early age that trust and love do little more than damn and disappoint. When he agrees to marry Susanna at the behest of his own sovereign, he never expects to be attracted to her, much less fall into a passionate love affair.
Forced into marriage by feuding kings in order to forge a political union between their countries, Blair and Susanna must learn to find peace between themselves as they battle ages-old prejudices—and vie for one another's hearts.
Like many young women of her generation, Camille Rocheford struggles for recognition in a changing world. Her debut novel, published under her own name rather than a masculine pseudonym, stirs great controversy. Yet despite her modern views on equality, she is at odds with the carefree morals of her progressive peers.
When a childhood friend invites her to spend the summer with a well-known writer, Camille eagerly accepts. Little does she know, her surprise host is none other than the infamous Stefan Eldritch, a poet who shocks the public with provocative verse and scandalizes his family with wild soirees.
Though polar opposites, Stefan and Camille soon fall into creative collaboration--and unbridled romance. Stefan challenges Camille to explore both art and sensuality without constraint. In turn, Camille teaches Stefan that even a free spirit is capable of loyalty and love. Along the way they stumble upon the lost path of the Black Magi, once practiced by Stefan's ancestors.
When their mutual work lands the powerful Eldritch clan in political disfavor, Stefan takes blame and is sentenced to prison. Can Camille find the strength and the means to gain her lover's freedom?
Lessons Learned, Book Two of the Eldritch Legacy, explores the reckless abandon of unrestrained passion paired with the power of the pen and the timeless force of love.
