It is whilst he is on this path that he encounters Lady Cecily Thornhill who Jack initially mistakes for Nell. It is this cynical outlook that sends Jack on his own personal mission to free his brother from his marriage which he deems to be an awful idea. To Jack marriage is nothing more than a necessary business arrangement, with no love involved at all. Despite his brothers words of reassurance, Jack can’t help but feel that Tom has been bewitched by his new wife Nell. When we first meet Jack Beresford – the Earl of Hawkenden, he is still reeling from the news of his younger brothers recent and rather unexpected marriage. Yet he must resist her charms, for in a month she’ll be gone-unless his frozen heart thaws before then… Lady Cecily Thornhill is both vibrant and beautiful, and Jack finds himself increasingly captivated by her sunny nature. But when his brother brings his new wife and her best friend to his country home, everything changes.
For Jack Beresford, Earl of Hawkenden, emotional entanglements are the path to pain.
