Gerard de Lacey is determined to find the man who tried to
blackmail his late father, both to stop the blackmail and
to discover—and dispose of—any evidence the villain has
about his father’s 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, he’s not
going to be left destitute. But he’s not expecting a rich
widow to find him and ask him to marry her.
Katherine Howe’s first marriage was one of dreary duty,
arranged by
her wealthy father to a penniless lord. Now that she’s
being pressured to marry her late husband’s heir, she’s
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 she’s
nursed a secret affection for him for years only makes it
better—and worse. Because Gerard will marry her, for her
fortune—but will he love her for herself, as she loves him?
