Meredith has been in love with Rhys for as long as she can remember. The inn has become the focal point for trade and socialisation, making its owner, Meredith Maddox, the lynchpin of the local community. With no patron to provide employment or support local businesses, the cottages are in desperate need of repair, there are no new buildings and the village has obviously not prospered. Travelling through the countryside around Buckleigh-in-the-Moor, Rhys realises the damage done to the local people by his father’s neglect and his own long absence. In all his years away, he’s faced death – gone looking for it, even – more times than he can count and has cheated it every time. Following a devastating fire fourteen years previously, he left his Devonshire home to join the army, and he hasn’t been back since. Maur has recently inherited the title of Lord Ashworth. In the first book in the series ( One Dance With a Duke) we learn that the club’s founder, Leo Chatwick, has been murdered, and the quest to bring the killer to brook is a theme running throughout the three books in the series.Ī secondary character in book one, Rhys St. Twice Tempted by a Rogue is the second book in Tessa Dare’s Stud Club series – the moniker not referring to the sexual attributes of the heroes (sadly!) but to the fact that they belong to an exclusive club which allows its members breeding rights to Osiris, England’s most valuable stallion.
