Heâs the man behind the mission to track down the illegitimate children of Englandâs Royal Princes and help them get their due. But his deepest desire is far more personal . . .
Magnificent and stubborn. Fourteen years apart had not changed Chloe Steele, or Dominic Hunterâs love for her. Heâd been a street urchin, a boy raised at court, and finally a magistrate, yet heâd never belonged anywhereâexcept by her side. Now Chloe devoted herself to girls threatened by scandalâlike she had been. But she was in danger, and Dominic was determined to helpâand hopefully make up for lost time . . .
Even in childhood, Dominic had made Chloe feel safe. Now she also felt thrillingly flustered by the powerful man heâd become, and by the longing he inspired. Because Dominic meant not only to protect her, but to untangle the lies that had separated them. Yet for Chloe, surrendering to temptation may be easier than risking a future that could ruin them both . . .
âWhat a love story! Touching, tender, and until the very end you are left guessing as to what will happen. Were Ms. Kelly to write the whole story in one book, it could definitely be considered a modern classic! Although a novella, Tall, Dark and Royal could well be the most beautiful book of the year!â âFresh FictionVanessa Kelly is a bestselling author of historical mystery and historical romance.
