Beyond Seduction (Bastion Club #6)

Beyond Seduction is the sixth book in the Bastion Club series by Australian author Stephanie Laurens.

Gervase Tregarth, Earl of Crowhurst, is called away from London back to Cornwall, by a series of pranks and vandalism. When he arrives back at the Crowhurst castle, he discovers that his three younger half-sisters are being the trouble.

His sisters were luring him back home because of a fear that if he married a London lady they would be sent away to live with a great aunt. Gervase makes a bargain with them - he will look at any local lady and consider her for marriage based on a list of criteria - including compatibility (his loophole) - assuming he will not find anyone.

When his sisters point out Madeline Gascoingne - a woman he has known for years - he realises that in her role as acting Viscount of Treleaver Park until her brother is of age - he overlooked her gender.

The romance story is woven with a line of suspense that grows throughout the novel. Including everything from smugglers to French spies, this edition of the Bastion Club series will thrill romance readers and suspense lovers alike.
