What does a fiercely independent young widow really want? One determined suitor is about to find out...
When Adeline, Dowager Countess of Wake, learns of her husbandβs sudden death, she realizes sheβs free. At last, she can do, go, and be as she pleases. Finally, she can have the life she has always dreamed of. She doesnβt need, or want, to remarry. Especially not the supremely dashing future Marquis of Marksworth, who makes Adeline yearn for his desire. . .
Lord Lyonwood, son of a philandering marquis, will not be like his father. He wants to run his estates and watch them flourishβand find a wife who brings love to his life. When he meets spirited and self-reliant Adeline in a case of near-scandalous mistaken identity, Lyon feels heβs met his match. But Adeline isnβt interested in a marriage proposal. She will only accept becoming his loverβand Lyon finds it hard to refuse. Unless the fire of his passion can melt Adelineβs resolve. . .
