It's been two years since Lady Marion Tunstall
lost her husband at sea. Two years of sorrow and grief. Only
now has the young, comely widow finally re-entered society.
It isn't until she and her family attend the merriment of a
country dance that Lady Marion sees her dead husband, alive
and well... and faints dead away.
Lord Tristan Tunstall has no choice but to confess - he is
alive, yes, but not a whole man who can be a husband and
father. When he offers her a divorce, however, Marion
stubbornly refuses. Now she has forced herself back into his
life, and into his home and (oh, God forgive his weakness)
his bed. He cannot stop himself from wanting her. Loving
her. But can he live with the secret she is keeping from
him?
