They were close childhood friends and she cared for him, she wasn’t counting on caring so much about him now that he’s back. It’s been twelve years since that dark night and Mary has missed Sebastian so much since he left. So when his best friend, Mary Wynne-Jones came barreling and released the Easton brothers from the tower and it sets them all free. Being only twelve years old when his uncle killed his dad, there wasn’t much that he could do to keep the title and the lands, or protect his brothers.

It was his livelihood that his uncle wanted to steal from him and it was his father that his uncle killed. His name is Sebastian and he’s the heir to the family Dukedom. There are three Easton boys and this is the oldest Easton boys book. She has a way of explaining things that makes me all happy and gooey inside from too much sighing all over the hot damn place.

Lorraine Heath always does a bang up job of making me come to care for her characters. This book started with a big bang! I mean, three young boys trapped in a tower after their Dad dies by their mean Uncle? Oh yeah and then a fair maiden comes plowing in to rescue them? Yeah, this is what romances are supposed to be made of. Not that it surprised me that this book ended up being a treat because duh, this is a Lorraine Heath and she introduced me to some of my favorite brothers not too long ago. I haven’t been in the mood for a historical but this one ended up to be a real treat.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a historical but I’m glad that I picked this one up. Unexpected passion soon burns dangerously between them, tempting Sebastian to abandon his quest for retribution and fight for a love that could once again set him free. While Mary is now betrothed to another, a friendship forged with dark secrets cannot be ignored. Lady Mary Wynne-Jones paid dearly for helping the imprisoned young Lords of Pembrook, and she remembers well the promise she made to Sebastian all those years ago: to meet him once more in the abbey ruins where they shared a bold, forbidden kiss. Now back in London, the rightful Duke of Keswick-returning from battle a wounded, hardened, changed man-cannot forget the brave girl who once rescued him and his brothers from certain death. Sebastian Easton always vowed he would avenge his stolen youth and title. Three young heirs, imprisoned by an unscrupulous uncle, escaped-to the sea, to the streets, to faraway battle-awaiting the day when they would return to reclaim their birthright.
