A fiercely independent duchess and a brooding, reclusive
earl are tested by the demands of desire in this
unforgettable romance from the USA Today bestselling
author of A Kiss of Lies and A Night of
Forever.
For Rose Deverill, one husband was enough. As the wealthy
widow of the Duke of Roxborough, she has cultivated an
unsavory reputation meant to discourage wife hunters. Thanks
to a string of steamy affairs, Rose is perfectly content to
be known by polite society as the “Wicked Widow”—until she’s
reunited with the man she fell in love with at age fifteen.
Their bedroom encounters are scorching, but it breaks Rose’s
heart to wonder whether her reckless behavior ruined her for
Philip Flagstaff.
The second son of the Earl of Cumberland, Philip never
wanted the title. But after Philip’s older brother, Robert,
follows him into the Battle of Waterloo, his worst fears
come to pass. Now Robert lies in a soldier’s grave, and
Philip is determined never to pass on the inheritance to
children of his own. Then Rose appears, soothing the pain
with her delightful curves and passionate kisses. The
notorious Duchess seems to want nothing from him—and yet
Philip has never ached to give a woman more.
