Gerard de Lacey is determined to find the man who tried to blackmail his late father, both to stop the blackmail and to discoverโand dispose ofโany evidence the villain has about his fatherโs 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, heโs not going to be left destitute. But heโs not expecting a rich widow to find him and ask him to marry her.
Katherine Howeโs first marriage was one of dreary duty, arranged by her wealthy father to a penniless lord. Now that sheโs being pressured to marry her late husbandโs heir, sheโs 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 sheโs nursed a secret affection for him for years only makes it betterโand worse. Because Gerard will marry her, for her fortuneโbut will he love her for herself, as she loves him?
