About this ebook

A widow with a scandalous plan. A duke with a heart locked in shadows. A love neither saw coming.

Lady Othelia Grantham has followed society’s rules long enough. After a cold, arranged marriage and years of dutiful mourning, she is ready to take control of her future—starting with a lover. The notorious Duke of Ashbrook seems the perfect candidate: rich, roguish, and famously uninterested in love.

Alister Brinsley-Radclyffe, Duke of Ashbrook, needs a wealthy bride to save his crumbling estate—but vows never to repeat the chaos of his parents’ so-called “love.” When a mysterious widow catches his eye at a masquerade, his carefully laid plans unravel in the face of temptation.

Drawn together by passion, challenged by secrets, and torn by conflicting desires, Othelia and Alister enter into a scorching affair that threatens to become something much more dangerous… real. But can two hearts damaged by the past risk everything for a love that breaks every rule?

Perfect for fans of reformed rogues, strong heroines, scandalous encounters, and fiercely emotional slow-burns, this Regency romance will leave you swooning, sighing, and believing in second chances.

Lady Othelia is a rich respectable widow, but wants companionship with passion. Alister, the Duke of Ashbrook, needs money and it looks like his only option is marriage. Very passionate and intense, they are made for each other, but he says he can't offer love. Ophelia's heartbroken. Maybe he's too much of a dunderhead to realize he might be in love. Descriptive sex. I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book from Booksprout.

Wanted more! :) I loved the premise: a woman who’s endured a loveless, arranged marriage and, once widowed, finally decides to chase what she truly wants. It feels fresh and modern in its outlook. I only wish the story had been longer; Lady Othelia and the Duke had so much more potential to explore! Still, it’s perfect for a quick, satisfying afternoon read (with great spice!) I received an advance reader copy, though these are my own thoughts.

Entertaining, Short Historical Romance She wants an affair; he needs a wealthy bride; neither wants love. But did Alister and Othelia realize there was no way to stop love? What happens when two people fall for each other despite their reluctance? Will they embrace it, or will they let the past color their future? I enjoyed this delightful historical romance and would definitely recommend it, especially appreciating its shorter length.
