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
husband’s sudden death, she realizes she’s free. At last,
she can do, go, and be as she pleases. Finally, she can have
the life she has always dreamed of. She doesn’t 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
flourish—and 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 he’s met his
match. But Adeline isn’t interested in a marriage proposal.
She will only accept becoming his lover—and Lyon finds it
hard to refuse. Unless the fire of his passion can melt
Adeline’s resolve. . .
