Robert Penfield had never met his twin brother's fiancé, Selena because of this fear that their mother had, that they might both fall in love with her and come to blows. 
Selena didn't even know that her fiancé had a twin brother, only that he had a brother. 
When Selena came to their estate in preparation for the wedding, still a month away, their mother was only too happy to see Robert leave to take up a commission in the navy.
Robert's carriage broke down as it was leaving their driveway, and at the same moment, Selena arrived early.She thought he was Charles, and she did not give him chance to tell her. She importuned him to make love to her in the belvedere, giving him no choice. How could he not fall in love with her?
Neither she, nor Charles, ever learned of that mistake, but it haunted Robert from that moment forward.  When their father died, the title of Lord Penfield, fell to Charles, who was assumed to be the older of the twins.

Ten years after going into the navy, Robert came ashore, to bad news.  His brother, and his brother's wife, had been in a carriage accident.  Charles was dead.
With the title now becoming Robert's, he had to return home.  
Selena was not expected to live.  There were three children who needed him.  He hastened north, not sure what would greet him.

She finds something far worse: the beach is bleeding girls who all share the same carved sigil-a four‑wave mark Talia recognizes from her own father's funeral. As the bodies stack up, Talia's fragmented memories begin to stitch themselves back together and reveal a bloodline she didn't choose: the Petersons were the wardens between human law and ancient power. Jason Quill, a quiet protector with storm-grey eyes, claims he will keep her safe. Kyle Howling Moon, a dangerous local with a wound in his past, will do anything to bring an ancient sea-spirit back. Allies become suspects, and a ritual timeline ticks down as loyalties fracture. Talia must decide which side she is on-her bloodline, the boy who won't let her go, or the Great Spirit who will stop at nothing to reclaim what he believes is his. -------- most impressive rankings: #83 in dark romance #14 in Native American

She looked at him with her blue eyes. "I don't think so." "What if I said I loved you?" he whispered hoarsely.
