From acclaimed author Jenna Jaxon, the sixth installment in her
acclaimed Regency-set Widows' Club series featuring a sisterhood of
women finding new happiness and second chance romance after losing their
husbands in the Battle of Waterloo.
Perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean, Tessa Dare, and Ella Quinn.
The Battle of Waterloo made them widows, but each has found new
happiness. And Jane, Lady John Tarkington, intends to keep her freedom,
even if love--and one particular gentleman--are determined to claim her
heart...
It is a truth rarely acknowledged--at least in public--that a wealthy
widow is free to pursue a great many adventures. For two years, Jane has
privately enjoyed her independence. Why should she remarry, even when
the gentleman proposing is as wonderful as Gareth, Lord Kinellan? She
entreats him never to ask her again. But as her Widows' Club
friends--now all joyfully remarried--gather at Castle Kinellan, Jane
begins to wonder if stubbornness has led her to make a terrible
mistake...
Kinellan needs a wife to give him an heir, and he wants that wife to be
Jane. They are perfect together in every way, yet she continually
refuses him. Just as he is on the point of convincing her, a series of
accidents befall Gareth and point to an enemy in their midst. He has
promised Jane a passionate future filled with devotion, but can he keep
them both alive long enough to secure it?
