The winter of 1813-1814 in London, England will be an unforgettable one. At not quite twenty-two, Penelope has been a widow longer than she was a wife. She is young, beautiful, and taking part in her first Season beside two of her sisters. She's also decided she might take a lover, and the notoriously enigmatic Duke of Rivers is proving to be extremely skilled in seduction. The Duke of Rivers is a man who is haunted by his past, sworn to live the life of a bachelor. A man who knows he is undeserving of love. A man who craves to indulge his every baser need with the exquisite young widow who first catches his eye on a London sidewalk. Theirs is an affair of the flesh. Love was never meant to be a part of it... and that's why he will break her heart to prove it. But will the actions of a madman steal her away from him for good just when he realizes he can't live without her? *** This is a steam-packed adult romance set in Regency, England.
