Heartless is a spellbinding classic Kat Martin romance—now available as an e-book for the very first time!
To escape her life of poverty as a tenant farmer's daughter, Ariel Summers made a bargain with the devil—she would become the Earl of Greville's mistress in exchange for the schooling and refinements of a lady. But she couldn't foresee the earl's timely death, or her own disturbing attraction to his bastard son and heir, Justin Ross.
Justin never meant to demand payment from the tempting young woman his father had so callously planned to ruin. But her innocent allure provoked his ruthless nature and he vowed he would have her in his bed.
Seduction was his plan, but Justin never suspected Ariel's innocent passion would awaken emotions he had long thought dead. Now mistrust and betrayal threaten the fragile happiness the two of them have found, and Justin must convince Ariel he isn't the heartless man she believes him to be.
An accomplished rogue.
An innocent young woman.
Love wasn’t part of the bargain…
She isn’t really all that innoccent, and he is more like the cynical bitter rogue. Slow to heat up, the last 100 pages are well worth slogging through the intro of Heartless
This book actually inspires real caring and emotion over the characters, mostly because they surprise you at every turn with their actions…I was expecting one reaction and then was happily awarded with something far less stereotypical.
Kat Martin loves the baddies, and they are present in Heartless. But far more compelling is the very real love story between the Hero and Heroine.
I also love that our Heroine is good at math (damn Barbie!).
While the love scenes aren’t quite up to kinky Kat’s standards, the love story is one to be cherished, and will make you look at your own partner (if you have one) with fonder eyes….
