Lady Valeria Arnold went through marriage without ever
experiencing the physical delights the union promises.
Now widowed and immured on a farm in the country, with
her only chance of romance a boorish neighbor who does’t
appeal, she’s resigned herself to a solitary life. Until
the dashing, rakish, entirely unsuitable Teagan
Fitzwilliams turns up at a scandalous bachelor
entertainment in the neighborhood…and intrudes on her
solitude.
A brief fling with the oh-so-seductive Teagan may be just
what she needs to feel alive again. But will one brief
fling be enough?
New to the passion galloping in her veins, Lady
Valeria
Arnold was shocked by the wanton impulses that drew her
to
Teagan Fitzwilliams. The stunning rake was nothing more
than a wastrel with the devil's own luck at cards--surely
not the kind of man that a woman could trust her heart
to.
Orphaned as a young boy, Teagan
Fitzwilliams despised the
role that Society had forced upon him. Yet until his
stolen moments with the Lady Valeria, no woman had ever
made him feel his own worth. Nor set him on a desperate
course to change his life forever--and claim this woman
of
uncommon grace his own for a lifetime.
