Being raised in a strict, humorless household did nothing
to
dampen Lady Lily Langdon's romantic nature -- nor cool her
lifelong affection for Edward Wallis, Earl of Whitby, her
elder brother's oldest, dearest friend. But Edward cannot
see the lovely woman she's become for the wild schoolgirl
she once was. So with lessons in flirtation from her
American sister-in-law, Duchess Sophia, Lily means to open
Edward's eyes and win his heart.
But just when her seduction begins to take hold, tragedy
strikes. Edward has lived a rakish life, believing he would
never grow old -- and a terrible twist of fate threatens to
prove him right. Yet adversity only strengthens Lily's
resolve to find the ecstasy she knows is waiting in
Edward's
arms -- and to prove to the handsome, haunted earl that it
is never too late to fall desperately in love.
Great historical
Emotional romance with a strong ending.
