An outcast widow is irresistibly drawn to a mysterious lord with devilish secrets in this steamy Regency romance. After losing everything, the widow Rosamunde Baird has no choice but to accept an invitation to spend a season with a dowager duchess and her clandestine ladies club. Determined to live quietly in the shadows, she has foresworn adventure and temptation, the two things that brought her ruin years ago. But then the Duke of Helston dangles before her the very things she craves most . . . Known as Lord Fire and Ice, Luc St. Aubyn has a much-deserved reputation for nights of blistering passion—and frost the morning after. What demons drive this audacious war hero to hide secrets about the dowager's club and his devilish dictionary? When he's blindsided by his reactions to a virtuous siren, he has no choice but to reveal all during a scandal that will doom them . . . or save them, if only they dare to believe in love.
