Outstanding emotionally rich book with one of the sexiest "tortured" heroes ever. On the outside Lucien is bad boy "Lucifer" Knight. On the inside he's just a lonely, hurting little boy who feels inferior to his twin brother and wants to be loved. He runs a spy listening post disguised as the meeting ground for an underground society that has regular orgies and he's tired of all the lies and deception. When Alice Montague, a complete innocent, arrives to collect her slutty sister-in-law Caro, Lucien is completley captivated by Alice's beauty and innocence and keeps her captive because he's lonely and wants a friend (he also wants to seduce her of course). They develop a wonderful friendship that blossoms into love and things get hot, hot, hot. Alice is enchanted by Lucien and can't resist his charms despite thinking that he's dangerous and she's taking a big risk getting involved with him. Lucien is disarmingly charming and at his captivating best when he's with Alice. He's also completley devoted to Alice. There's an interesting spy subplot that puts Alice, Carol and Alice's nephew in danger. Definitely staying on my "keeper" shelf. The others in the Knight miscellany series are also very good but this is undoubtedly the best. Galen has outdone herself. In fact, I liked it **almost** as much as "Outlander." This is a huge compliment.
