Branded a money-hungry con artist for marrying the elderly
Duke of Tremaine days before his death, Viola Cartwright has
found refuge in her work at St. Agatha’s Hospital. No one
must know the painful reason behind her marriage. She steers
clear of attachments—until Henry Lowell, heir to the
Viscount Armswell, lands on her operating table after a
duel. Charming and wickedly handsome, Lowell is one of
London’s most inveterate scoundrels. Yet he may not be all
that he appears.
And the man who can promise a future filled with
love…
Posing as an unrepentant rake has helped Lowell avoid women
pursuing him only for his title. But now that duty has
finally called on him to marry, he finds himself entranced
by the mysterious, independent-minded Viola. Then her late
husband’s son returns from overseas, contesting Viola’s
inheritance. Lowell longs to help her and sets out to
convince Viola that a strategic union may be the best way to
save all she holds dear. But can he also persuade her to
take a chance on love…?
