Although headstrong, stubborn, and naive, I thought she was the perfect pair for the tortured hero. The heroine Sara is also a likable character. Growing up on the streets was not easy for him but he showed that he was a person worthy of Sara’s love through his actions. I thought the way he was resisting Sara saying that he was not good enough for the likes of her was romantic and this part made me like him more. Kleypas really made him up to be a “gentleman” despite his background and his attitude towards everyone. Course and gruff, he is the perfect tortured hero, in my opinion. I fell in love with Derek Craven the moment I met him. And so starts their road to finding love. This man is Derek Craven, a gambler turned businessman/owner of an exclusive London club. The premise is that Gothic author Sara Fielding, looking for more material for her next serial accidentally finds a man being attacked and saves him from certain death. It has to be one of the best Lisa Kleypas novels that I have read to date. This is the first book of the series that I read and I loved it.
