Gerard de Lacey is determined to find the man who tried to blackmail his late father, both to stop the blackmail and to discoverβand dispose ofβany evidence the villain has about his fatherβs clandestine first marriage. If that proof is made public, it could prove Gerard and his brothers illegitimate, and strip them of their inheritance. And just in case, Gerard intends to find himself a wealthy bride. One way or another, heβs not going to be left destitute. But heβs not expecting a rich widow to find him and ask him to marry her.
Katherine Howeβs first marriage was one of dreary duty, arranged by her wealthy father to a penniless lord. Now that sheβs being pressured to marry her late husbandβs heir, sheβs desperately in search of a better option. Gerard de Lacey, with his sinful good looks, charming manner, and looming scandal fits her needs perfectly. The fact that sheβs nursed a secret affection for him for years only makes it betterβand worse. Because Gerard will marry her, for her fortuneβbut will he love her for herself, as she loves him?
