Having had a loveless and unfulfilling marriage, Passion is
glad her two-year mourning period is almost over. Having no
plans to marry again, she's now free to live her life as
her own. She isn't planning on having an affair, but an
incident at the Crystal Palace throws her into the arms of
a nameless man who makes love to her behind a screen.
Passion finally learns what fulfillment is and she's not
ready to return to her boring life.
Mark would never take a wife of his own free will, living
by the motto of keeping a woman until he loses interest. In
his case, it's never more than a couple of months. Being
blackmailed to marry, Mark is eager to gather all the
evidence needed to break off the engagement. In the
meantime, he continues with the woman who makes his blood
boil -- there's something about her he just can't let go
of.
Meeting behind the screen for several days at the Crystal
Palace, Passion and Mark learn a little more about each
other, but never anything too personal. Mark soon starts
sneaking in Passion's bedroom window. An agreement is made
that they'll spend two months together, and then part.
Passion soon discovers that she's in love with Mark. He
knows he can't let her go when the time comes, but he's
unable to name what the emotions are that he's feeling.
While attending her cousin Charlotte's engagement party,
Passion is introduced to the bridegroom and is devastated
when he's none other than Mark Randolph Hawkmore, Earl of
Langley -- her Mark. Passion refuses him any contact and has
to convince Charlotte to give her reluctant bridegroom time
to come around. Mark is unwilling to let Passion go and
reveals his darkest secrets in hopes she'll stay with him.
Even though Passion understands his dilemma, she's
unwilling to stay and watch the man she loves marry
another.
Lisa Valdez has outdone herself with this wildly sexy
story. It's downright breathtaking! I do guarantee that
you'll cry like a baby at some point, so have a box of
tissues handy.
A woman called Passion. A man who would make her true to
her name.
In her second year of mourning, lovely young widow Passion
Elizabeth Dare never dreamed she would be with a man again--
and certainly not a complete stranger. But amidst the
crowds of London's Crystal Palace, Passion finds herself
discreetly, yet insistently, pursued by a sensual gentleman
who awakens her long-supressed desires. After a loveless
marriage of restrained propriety, Passion abandons herself
to true bliss for the first time.
Intoxicated by his encounter with the beautiful stranger,
Mark Randolph Hawkmore, Earl of Langley, cannot wait to see
her again. As a series of rapturous rendezvous follows, he
and his mystery lover find something rare and wonderful
blossoming between them. But a blackmail scheme against the
Earl threatens to destroy everything. As a scandal brews,
each will have to choose between duty and desire...their
love for their families--and their love for each other.
