Aubrey returns to England to defend himself in a trial before the House of Lords. His cousin and heir, Rupert Hindley, also returns from India accusing him of the murder. Aubrey vows Hindley won't win the deadly match set up between them and plans to marry as soon as possible and sire an heir before his rendezvous with the hangman. Then one twilit winter night, he meets Lilias Merrit, the daughter of a recently ruined merchant, who is escaping her betrothal to a sadistic farmer. Aubrey is drawn to the beautiful nurse-companion. But the couple's growing passion is tempered by the knowledge that Hindley will return any day to spread his venomous accusations all over England. To free himself from the past, and begin a new life with the woman he loves, Aubrey will have to risk everything to save both her - and himself. <P> Mary Lennox lives with her husband and assorted animals on an idyllic horse farm in Ohio. 1382284 15 4 2005 My Lord Beast (Five Star Expressions) total:4|5:0|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 4 14 8 2 4 0 false false Mon Apr 14 10:14:55 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 10:15:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue May 26 13:26:36 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 13:26:52 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 21:50:45 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 09:53:08 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Feb 07 12:52:52 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 12:52:52 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 06 08:02:08 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 06 08:02:12 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 17 06:57:44 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 17 06:57:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 12 15:32:32 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 15:32:32 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Sat Oct 20 14:18:32 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 20 14:19:47 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1392146
