Of course, he never counted on an innocent, brave, inquisitive, genuine, mousy, and tenderhearted spinster like Sara Fielding shaking up his life and tearing down his walls of self-protection.ĭerek Craven is such an endearing, diamond in the rough hero because he’s a tortured soul and deeply flawed, yet he has a huge, albeit tarnished, heart of gold and such vast potential for love and when he falls for Sara, he falls hard and forever. Derek Craven, the sexy, cynical, hardened cockney son of a prostitute, grew up on the rough streets of London and learned to make his way in the dangerous rookeries by any means necessary, eventually accumulating vast wealth and power by running a popular, thriving gaming club.ĭerek has erected strong defenses and adopted a detached, cool, blasé façade to hide his emotions, protect his heart, and conceal his longing for the things in life he doesn’t think he deserves and can never have: honor, respect, trust, friendship, love, and family. *dreamy sigh*.Īuthor Sara Fielding wants to observe the workings of London’s underground gaming halls for her latest novel, including the most famous gambling club of all, Craven’s, and the notorious man who runs it. This is such a beautiful, heartrending love story that I savored like the finest Vosges chocolate! And it’s no wonder why this is such a sentimental, LK fan favorite.Derek Craven.
