FIRST SENTENCE: The library was hushed in every possible way, its heavy velvet drapes ling since drawn against the flickering gaslight beyond.
SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] Lord Nash is a creature of the night -- his wealth and title provide but a tenuous entrée into polite society. Notorious for his sophisticated manners and a dark, dashing elegance, rumors abound of the men he has bankrupted and the women he's left heartbroken. But when Nash leaves his lair for a rare foray into the ton, he faces a lure of temptation all his own -- an extraordinary moment of passion with a mysterious lady in the moonlight -- and an obsession that will lead him into a hellish world of smugglers, spies, and intrigue. And as for his damsel in disguise, the witty and beautiful Miss Xanthia Neville, he soon learns, is as unattainable as she is tempting. And now Nash must decide if she is also dangerous.
REASON FOR READING: I need to pare down my romance novel piles.
THOUGHTS: I remember one thing about this book: Xanthia? Seriously? That is what you choose to name your character?
MISCELLANEOUS: Alexander seems to be off her game as of late.
