== Review ==
One by one, the brave, dashing, ''and'' handsome members of the [[Bastion Club]] return to civilian life...with their the lady loves.
Now... their ex-commander faces the same fate, ''while'' hunting down a ruthless traitor bent on murdering Royce and everything he holds dear. Be sure to read this thrilling romance when it comes out July 2009

== Plot Synopsis ==
The men of the Bastion Club proved their bravery secretly fighting for their country. Now their leader faces that most dangerous mission of all: finding a bride. As the mysterious leader of the Bastion Club known as "Dalziel," Royce Varisey, 10th Duke of Wolverstone, served his country for decades, facing dangers untold. But as the holder of one of England's most august noble titles, he must now take on that gravest duty of all: marriage. Yet the young ladies the grand dames would have him consider are predictably boring. Far more tempting is his castle's willful and determinedly aloof chatelaine, Minerva Chesterton. Beneath her serene facade lies a woman of smoldering sensuality, one who will fill his days with comfort and his nights with sheer pleasure.

== Review ==
One by one, the brave, dashing, ''and'' handsome members of the [[Bastion Club]] return to civilian life...with their the lady loves.
Now... their ex-commander faces the same fate, ''while'' hunting down a ruthless traitor bent on murdering Royce and everything he holds dear. Be sure to read this thrilling romance when it comes out July 2009

== Plot Synopsis ==
The men of the Bastion Club proved their bravery secretly fighting for their country. Now their leader faces that most dangerous mission of all: finding a bride. As the mysterious leader of the Bastion Club known as "Dalziel," Royce Varisey, 10th Duke of Wolverstone, served his country for decades, facing dangers untold. But as the holder of one of England's most august noble titles, he must now take on that gravest duty of all: marriage. Yet the young ladies the grand dames would have him consider are predictably boring. Far more tempting is his castle's willful and determinedly aloof chatelaine, Minerva Chesterton. Beneath her serene facade lies a woman of smoldering sensuality, one who will fill his days with comfort and his nights with sheer pleasure.
