A troubled widow and a dashing war hero clash in this compelling
regency romance.
There are worse things than being spectacularly jilted. Losing a leg,
for instance, or getting shot - well, perhaps not: The bullet Alistair
took fighting in the peninsula never landed him in London's scandal
sheets.
Captain Alistair Beaumaris never dreamed he'd be tossed over by Lord
Fairchild's bastard daughter, losing both her and her fortune - a
singular humiliation that should have taught him a lesson. But when your
luck is out, you do foolish things, like quarrel with your oldest
friend. Or mistake a perfectly respectable widow for a lady of easy
virtue.
Unfortunately, that kind of blunder needs fixing. Yielding to his
troublesome conscience, Alistair tracks down the elusive widow...but the
only thing he doesn't find is an easy way out.
