“A fascinating Regency romance with an edge . . . With passion, politics and family issues, [it] is a thoroughly entertaining read.” —Fresh Fiction Away from society’s prying eyes . . . After suffering the loss of her beloved husband, quick-witted Lady Margaret Roberts has sworn off the pursuit of passion . . . that is, until she meets Giles Hadley. Bitterly estranged from his family, reluctant viscount Giles knows all too well the devastation of an unhappy marriage. So while he is prepared to indulge in an illicit affair, he must beware, for spirited Maggie awakens in him something even more forbidden—the desire to claim her as his wife . . . “I simply fell in love with the story from the first few pages . . . I truly enjoyed seeing Giles and Maggie connect over their desire for each other but more importantly through their thoughts and ideas . . . An attraction that makes them dizzy with longing is the delicious icing on top of this bedrock of the relationship. And while each of them is powerful politically in their own right, together, they’re a powerhouse.” —All About Romance “[An] unlikely romance between two people with opposing views who wind up falling in love, giving us a sweet and spicy romance that will leave you smiling at the end.” —The Book Review
