Rian and LIsette's story was very much the well, not calm before the storm, but certainly a percursor to the final battle of the Beckets versus an old enemy. With all the danger surrounding the family, we're getting to see more of all of the members whose stories we've already read... and the continuation is really nice. Of all the Beckets throughout the series, though, Rian, to me, was the one least known. That changed a LOT in Fanny's story, but in his own story, Rian finally completed his journey to being real as his siblings. Very nice! Great tension ~ I'm tellin' you it's getting harder and harder to read as usual with the denoument of the series heading our way. VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

6th in the Beckets of Romney Marsh series
FROM the BACK:
Rian Becket had survived the nightmare of battle...
only to find danger closer to home
Being left in the care of the lovely Lisette, who tended to his every need, helped him forget the horrors of war. Though she played her part well, Rian's Becket intuition led him to believe there was more to the young woman than met the eye.
Could she possibly be part of a conspiracy to destroy Rian and his friends ~ or even the entire Becket clan? And if she was aligned with the enemy, how would he ever bring himself to stop her, when she was beginning to mean more to him than life itself...?
