Charlotte, Baroness Mardenford, can't help herself.
Although she's sparred frequently with Nathanial
Knightridge, she heads to his home alone in an entirely
inappropriate visit because she knows of the torment he
must be feeling. Although wealthy, Nathanial has devoted
his law career to representing men on death row, and she
knows he's in torment over a lost case and the man's death.
Charlotte marches in to Nathanial's home, despite his
butler's attempt to keep her out, spouting talk of her
women's reform movement, knowing that will distract him.
Only it's Charlotte who becomes distracted as Nathanial
uses his well-honed talent with women to kiss her senseless.
What Nathanial doesn't know is that he and Charlotte have a
past. Charlotte, in a moment of daring that doesn't fit her
public persona, dressed up and attended a scandalous party,
where she was promptly seduced by Nathanial. Luckily (for
Charlotte, anyway), he never realized who he was with
because she was wearing a mask.
But as the two begin to spend more time together, Nathanial
can't help but notice the attraction and he finally puts
two and two together.
I always rave about Ms. Hunter's books and this one is no
exception. I love the way she weaves characters in from her
other books (although each stands alone), and I
particularly admire her skill in making those characters
real. I liked Charlotte immensely, and Nathanial is a good
man, despite his well-known rogue status. I highly
recommend reading every one of her books! She is one of my
favorite authors.
She arrives at his home without warning or invitation,
determined to win him to her campaign to reform women’s
rights. Instead, Charlotte, the widowed Baroness Mardenford,
ends up being nearly seduced by Nathaniel Knightridge. No
woman is safe from the mesmerizing sensual power of the
famed courtroom advocate, and Charlotte discovers she is no
exception. But does he recognize her as the masked woman who
recklessly joined him in forbidden passion a month ago? And
how to avoid becoming his Lady of Sin when he
decides to pursue her again? Suddenly it's every lady for
herself as their past skirmishes erupt into a dangerous game
of irresistible desire... and an honorable woman discovers
the most pleasurable sin of all.
