Norwyck's Lady

"Women could not be trusted. Bartholomew, Earl of Norwyck, had well learned that bitter lesson from his traitorous first wife. What, then, should he make of "the Lady Marguerite," a mysterious beauty who claimed ignorance of her true identity? Was she an enemy sent to destroy him -- or an angel come to heal his wounded soul? Bartholomew had saved her from a shipwreck, only to dash her upon the rocky shores of his darkest suspicions. But if Marguerite were truly one of his blood-sworn enemies, how then to explain the desire that pulsed between them -- threatening to engulf them in a heat as fierce as any flame?"

This book was very enjoyable, but more attention could have been paid to Bart and Mairi's relationship. Their encounters seemed brief, but heartfelt.

A must read. This was my first book from Maguire. Because of Norwick's Lady, I have just ordered several more. I can only hope they will be almost as good. I don't want to give anything away, so hurry up and read it...
