Stephanie Laurens has done it again in this captivating, sizzling romance fused with fast-moving action. In this third volume of `The Black Cobra Quartet', Logan Monteith is carrying a letter that will forever change the lives of the evil and debauched Black Cobra Cult-and they will do anything to get it back. Logan is trying to reach England when his ship is overrun by cultists during a storm. Badly wounded, he's thrown overboard when the ship sinks. Linnet Trevission, fondly known as The Virgin Queen of Mount Coeur by the townspeople, reigns over Guernsey, which includes housing and mothering orphans. She thinks her previous lovers are typical of the male species and has given up on the idea of love and marriage, but when Logan washes ashore she's seduced by his alluring physique and gentle kindness. Never one to hold back in a fight, Linnet joins Logan to ensure his safety on his perilous journey back to England, where we revisit the Cynsters and their wives, known from another of Laurens' series and dedicated to ridding the world of the Black Cobra Cult.
