At birth, Mick Trewlove, the illegitimate son of a duke, was handed over to a commoner. Despite his lowly upbringing, Mick has become a successful businessman, but all his wealth hasn’t satisfied his need for revenge against the man who still won’t acknowledge him. What else can Mick do but destroy the duke’s legitimate son—and woo the heir’s betrothed into his own unloving arms . . .
Orphaned and sheltered, Lady Aslyn Hastings longs for a bit of adventure. With her intended often preoccupied, Aslyn finds herself drawn to a darkly handsome entrepreneur who seems to understand her so well. Surely a lady of her station should avoid Mick Trewlove. If only he weren’t so irresistible . . .
As secrets are about to be exposed, Mick must decide if his plan for vengeance is worth risking what his heart truly desires.
I love stories like this… the underdog, the bastard, the unlikely hero; they are my favorite! Beyond Scandal and Desire is the first in a new series by Historical romance great Lorraine Heath and wow what an amazing start!
I fell hard for Mick, he was such an enjoyable hero. I love his character development through out the story. Aslyn is just the kind of heroine I admire, one that is true to herself and chases her desires. She is very ahead of her time and she brought the depth to the book. The premise of this story is delicious, revenge plots are always exciting and as you read, you cannot help but feel a bit sorry for Mick. You would expect him to be despicable but he is really quite the opposite. Lorraine Heath makes you yearn and burn for this forbidden romance, she makes you crave this carefully crafted couple and delivers on the sweet heat. GAH! I want more!! The angst, the passion, the star-crossed feel had me hooked, consumed and satisfied. This was my first Lorraine Heath book and I am looking forward to more!

Lorraine Heath always dreamed of being a writer. After graduating from the University of Texas, she wrote training manuals, press releases, articles, and computer code, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she not only became hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She’s been writing about them ever since. Her work has been recognized with numerous industry awards, including RWA’s prestigious RITA. Her novels have appeared on the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists.
