A passionate new historical romance in Madeline Hunter's nationally
bestselling Seducer series. This one features a fifth member of the
London Dueling Society, the reserved, enigmatic lawyer to the Laclere
family: Julian Hampton. All his life, it seemed, Julian had been in love
with Penelope, now Countess of Glasbury. And when he learned the horrors
she had endured at the hands of her vicious husband, Julian was
instrumental in arranging for her escape to Italy. But he has never
forgotten the love of his childhood, the woman he had rescued first as a
"damsel in distress" when she was a girl, and then for real once she had
blossomed into woman. When Penelope returns secretly to London, Julian
is the one she turns to, even though her trust in him puts both their
reputations, and ultimately their lives, in peril.
