Merritt Steele loves a scandal and the more illicit the better and he knows that every writer envies his knowledge of the well to do and his paper that he built from the bottom up proves how in step he is with his readers. By a wicked turn of fate Merritt is now part of the group he is so enamored of trashing all this has done is make him more determined to prove he cares little about society and what they think. However, Lady Iris Bennington does have an interest in what he is writing as it is turning her beloved brother into a cad, something she worked very hard to avoid happening. Iris was forced to care for her brother from an early age when other girls were making a coming out she chose to stay in and do right by her family. When pushed with a decision of substance where her brother is concerned Iris chooses to confront the villain and after that nothing was ever the same for either of them.
Being a woman in good standing Iris assumed Merritt would see the light and stop his ridiculous articles about how men should behave but Merritt views life from a different angle so what it takes to stop him is nothing short of a confrontation. Both Iris and Merritt want something the other can provide and the bet that comes from this meeting of great minds is, to say the least scattered like dried up leaves. Iris will prepare Merritt’s sister for polite society while Merritt will teach Iris to be a man about town. Neither likes the venture but both know they will not back down. But what a surprise for Merritt when a certain skill set of Iris’s presents itself, and just like that another adventure is started on Merritt’s part to discover why is it that Iris is so good with self-defense. No mere maiden is she, no Iris is very accurate with her ability to draw down an aggressor and Merritt must know why.
Yet what Merritt discovers turns out to be more hurtful than helpful in their relationship which both deny they are having. Iris wants privacy and the right to live her life as a respected, independent woman while Merritt by his own profession is destined to destroy that with the wisp of an ill written word. Even though his innuendos are veiled and his source anonymous the hurt brought down upon Iris is unforgiveable on his part and trying to make amends may not happen and then what does he does with the love he has accumulated for her and the uncontrolled desire to not live without her existence in his life.
Great writers develop characters with charisma, storylines that keep readers entranced until the end, a few twists around a turn, and always with romance a love that you can feel to your toes. Robyn DeHart does all of this and adds one more element that takes her writing to the expert level, a deep seeded love for the written word. Ms. DeHart understands the depth of her ability and ensures her readers know that she is writing every word she puts in every sentence on every page with love and conviction.
