A woman called Passion. A man who would make her true to
her name.
In her second year of mourning, lovely young widow Passion
Elizabeth Dare never dreamed she would be with a man again--
and certainly not a complete stranger. But amidst the
crowds of London's Crystal Palace, Passion finds herself
discreetly, yet insistently, pursued by a sensual gentleman
who awakens her long-supressed desires. After a loveless
marriage of restrained propriety, Passion abandons herself
to true bliss for the first time.
Intoxicated by his encounter with the beautiful stranger,
Mark Randolph Hawkmore, Earl of Langley, cannot wait to see
her again. As a series of rapturous rendezvous follows, he
and his mystery lover find something rare and wonderful
blossoming between them. But a blackmail scheme against the
Earl threatens to destroy everything. As a scandal brews,
each will have to choose between duty and desire...their
love for their families--and their love for each other.
