Lord of fire by Gaelan Foley

Lord Lucien Knight…a man who lives in a fortress of sin, whose parties lure the most notorious members of the ton, where he carefully lays the trap for his enemies, a cunning spy out to get his enemy to settle old scores and avenge the death of an old friend.

Alice Montague, beautiful, innocent country girl, all she wants is to keep her promise to her dead brother to look out for his wife and son. For this reason alone she goes in search of her sister-in-law. A search that leads her to the Lord Lucien….

Under the pretense of all the sin, Lucien is just a lonely boy, the boy who was always “the other one” when his twin Damien was everyone’s favorite. The boy grew up into a man, who still needed to prove to himself and to the world that he was as good as his twin. The man who sacrificed not only his reputation but also his soul for his country. A man who is so engulfed by the darkness of it all, that he wants to grab one ray of light that he sees. One ray, that his soul tells him, is capable of drawing him out of all his shadows. Alice. One ray of light which can wash out all the darkness inside him and lead him to a bright future. To that happy forever.

When Alice first meets Lord Lucien she is disgusted by his lack of morals. His blackmailing that forces her to stay for a week with him. But as she gets to know him better she starts seeing through his pretenses. She sees a man tormented by his own choices. A man starved of love. A man longing to be held in someone’s affection. A man she falls in love with. But a man refusing to give her one thing she wants….trust.

Thus Gaelan Foley weaves this tale of darkness and light. Of how everyone, even the most hardened by life, needs love. Love that touches the soul. A beautiful tale. A definite 9/10.
