New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens has created some of romance's most unforgettable novels. Now she has created her most provocative love story—and amazing hero—to date. This is the book that dares to ask the question: Who is this man's ideal bride?
Michael Anstruther-Wetherby is a rising member of Parliament—a man destined for power. Aristocratic, elegant, and effortlessly charming, he is just arrogant enough to capture the interest of the ladies of the ton. And with his connections to the wealthy and influential Cynster family—his sister is married to Devil Cynster, the Duke of St. Ives—his future appears assured.
Except that Michael lacks the single most important element of success: a wife.
Political pressure sends him searching for his ideal bride, a gently bred, malleable young lady, preferably one with a political background. Michael discovers such a paragon but finds a formidable obstacle in his path—the young lady's beautiful, strong-minded aunt—Caroline Sutcliffe.
One of London's foremost diplomatic hostesses, Caro has style and status but, having lived through an unhappy political marriage, wants nothing of the sort for her niece, who has already lost her heart to another.
So Caro and the younger woman hatch a plot—Caro will demonstrate why an inexperienced young lady is not the bride for Michael. She succeeds in convincing him that what he really needs is a lady of experience by his side.
And the perfect candidate is right under his nose—Caro herself. Then it is Michael's turn to be persuasive, a task that requires every ounce of his seductive charm as he tempts and tantalizes Caro, seeking to convince her that becoming his bride will bring her all her heart desires … and more.
But then a series of mysterious, and dangerous, accidents befall Caro—an assailant has stepped in with their own idea for Caro's future—one that could involve murder. Before Caro can become Michael's ideal bride, they must race to uncover the unknown's identity before all hope of what they long for, and wish for, is destroyed.

When it comes to writing, Charles is a guru and ever since I started reading his work, I’ve never been disappointed. Such a great book, I enjoyed every bit of it. The chapters aren’t too long to bore you, plot is really clear and well laid out, no unnecessary jargons( at no particular time did I have to use my dictionary or Google to look up for a word), No forced scenes or characters, yaani Kila kitu just flows effortlessly.
He is consistent in delivering quality work and honestly speaking, I think he is the most underrated author from these sides of the Sahara.
Congratulations and looking forward to another one from you

The description of the book as a family horror and thriller is justice well served. During the reading, I put the book down a number of times to gaze into nothingness to let the momental trauma pass. If I had any tears left, they would have been shed for various members of the Rukwaro family.
The mix of history, events based in actual places ( a signature in Chanchori’s bodies of work) and fiction is magical, to say the least. One of these days, I’m taking a journey down the Mara (and the book with me) just to experience the book better. I’m definitely going out to actively read and listen to first hand Mau Mau experience.
Chanchori has been and remains a literary genius.
