London, 1819. Four years ago,
Darius, the Earl of
Redgrave fled London two weeks before his wedding to Lady
Mary’s sister and married another woman. Now a widower, he
has returned to seek a new wife.
One woman catches
his eye . . .
At first, Lady Mary doesn’t
recognize the handsome lord as
the cad who ran out on her sister. After giving him the cut
direct in a London ballroom, she finds herself running into
him everywhere she goes, and fighting a forbidden
attraction. Not only has Mary sworn off men, Redgrave is so
very wrong for her. But she cannot stop thinking of his
kisses. Redgrave means to stay away from Mary but it is
impossible. Passion between two people who can never be
together is a dangerous game.
