5By Nancyb682Heartless, the gossips said of Cordelia. Could she dismiss gorgeous Sebastien Thorne? This is a terrific tale, related elegantly, with just enough intrigue and romance. Had to put it down to sleep, but didn’t want to! I really enjoyed this one and look forward to the next in the series.A Heartless Design
