Jade

I first started reading Sue Rich books last year, when I read Velvet. This Sue Rich book is fabulous. It's got everything that a romance book needs. Especially fire. Keep it going!!!! ~`°*Angel*°`~

Morgan Frazier, the son of an English viscount, wins the deed to Wentworth Hall during a game of chance. To Morgan, it means nothing whether the debtor pays him in cash or whether he adds the property to his vast real estate holdings. To Jade Wentworth, the loss of the hall means losing the roof over her head. With her father in debtors prison, Jade and her two live-in cousins (the cunning Sedgewick and the simple Wilkie) are desperate. Sedgewick decides to act and kidnaps Morgan, expecting to ransom the aristocrat. Jade knows that Sedgewick's rash action could lead to all of them spending time in prison while waiting for their hanging. She helps Morgan obtain his freedom, but before he departs he forcibly takes her and Wilkie with him to protect them from Sedgewick and his vile temper. On the lam, Morgan decides that he loves Jade and proposes to her. She turns him down because she wants nothing to do with a gambler. Morgan must convince Jade that he is nothing like her father or lose his beloved forever. Whenever a person opens a Sue Rich book, they know it is rich with adventure and a creative story line. In JADE, readers are treated to Georgian England and are given a story line that is unique, refreshing, and very entertaining. This novel is a fun read even if the villain comes across as half-dimensional. Harriet Klausner
