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 husbandโs sudden death, she realizes sheโs free. At last, she can do, go, and be as she pleases. Finally, she can have the life she has always dreamed of. She doesnโt 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 flourishโand 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 heโs met his match. But Adeline isnโt interested in a marriage proposal. She will only accept becoming his loverโand Lyon finds it hard to refuse. Unless the fire of his passion can melt Adelineโs resolve. . .
