In Stephanie Laurens's newest novel, a passionate man and
a daring woman confront the ultimate question

What Price Love?

Dillon Caxton, protégé of Demon Cynster, is now a man of sterling reputation, but it wasn't always so. Now impeccably honest, he is the Keeper of the Register of all racing horses in England. His standing and aloofness makes Dillon undeniably desirable to young ladies, but he remains uninterested.

Until Miss Priscilla Dalloway erupts into his life. Lady Priscilla affects Dillon as no other ever has, and what fascinates him is that she will do anything to see what's in the Register. Her twin brother, Russell, who had left home to work with the finest racehorses, has disappeared. Priscilla knows clues to his whereabouts can be found in the tome Dillon Caxton refuses to let her see.

Dillon convinces Priscilla to tell him all and to trust him with her twin's life. Together, Dillon and Pris locate Rus, only to discover that his life is threatened by the perpetrators of a massive betting swindle. They embark on a journey riddled with danger as they seek to overturn the swindle and expose Rus's deadly enemies. And along the way they discover the answer to that age old question: What price love?

      Concerned about her missing twin brother, Russell, and his possible involvement in a racing scandal, Lady Priscilla Dalloway will do anything to find him--including seducing Dillon Caxton, keeper of the breeding register and the man most likely to have information crucial to her search. A spin-off from the author's popular Cynster series, this story comes to life in Elizabeth Sastre's capable hands. Not only are her Irish and English accents impeccable, she manages to convey the subtle, and occasionally not so subtle, shadings of every character, however briefly they appear--most notably Dillon's bumbling sidekick, Barnaby; a couple of Cockney cabbies; and the villain, Mr. X.

      Set in 1831, bestseller Laurens's crowd-pleasing hot-blooded romance reintroduces Dillon Caxton, a young rake now reformed, who first appeared in A Rogue's Proposal
      . Recruited by the Jockey Club to investigate rumors of race fixing in Newmarket, Suffolk, Dillon is startled to discover that a gorgeous young Irishwoman calling herself Priscilla "Pris" Dalling (in reality an earl's daughter) is trying to get a look at the two official tomes on breeding and racing in England, the Breeding Register
      and the Stud Book
      . The green-eyed femme fatale is determined to help her twin brother, Lord Russell Dalling, whose dream to train an Irish Derby winner for Lord Cromarty's stables has landed them both in heart-stopping danger. Wanton sparks fly, bodices rip and trousers drop, though the novel's main juice comes from the well-researched horse-racing backdrop, not from the sometimes accidentally funny lust scenes ("Far beyond sanity, her world shook; reality tilted and quaked").

      Starred review from April 15, 2006
      Fearing that her headstrong twin brother has inadvertently become involved in a horse-racing scheme that could prove deadly, Lady Priscilla Dalloway leaves Ireland and heads for Newmarket to learn more about a mysterious -breeding register - that holds the key to the scam. Her search is complicated by the dangerously attractive Dillon Caxton, the keeper of the register in question, who not only has been alerted to the swindle but suspects Priscilla's motives, too. Reluctantly joining forces, Pris and Dillon become wary allies and, finally, lovers in this complex sizzler. The latest of Laurens's popular Cynster novels, this one has links to "A Rogue's Proposal".

      When her twin brother, Russell, disappears soon after taking a job as a horse trainer for Lord Cromarty, Lady Priscilla Dalloway fears he may have become entangled in a dangerous racing swindle. To find out, Priscilla needs information from the official register of horses kept at the Jockey Club in Newmarket. But the official Keeper of the Breeding Register, Dillon Caxton, has no intention of letting Priscilla anywhere near the book. Priscilla is prepared to use all of her feminine wiles and stunning beauty to seduce Dillon into granting her access to the register only to discover that Dillon is equally determined to seduce all of Priscilla's secrets out of her. The high-stakes world of horse racing in Regency times provides the fascinating setting for " New York Times" best-selling Laurens' latest Cynster novel, another of the author's lusciously sensual historical romances. Deftly laced with passion and danger, " What Price Love?" is sexy, suspenseful, and splendidly satisfying. (Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
