Read Moreįrom the grandeur of regency Mayfair to the dark danger of London's East End, Liz Carlyle sweeps you away with a powerful story of a love born against all odds, as an honorable young widow stands fast against the cynical rogue who seems determined to consume her, heart and soul.Ī Woman of Virtue In the lonely months since her husband's death, Cecilia Lorimer has hidden her emptiness by devoting herself to a charity mission for the unfortunate women of London's slums. But as danger swirls about them, he is tortured by doubt. Nothing could have prepared Cole for the lust Jonet inspires. But it is soon apparent that treachery stalks two innocent boys, and Cole plunges into the viper's pit that is Jonet Rowland's life. When his scheming uncle begs him to investigate the death of his brother, Lord Mercer, Captain Cole Amherst refuses. Shunned by society, the daring widow steels herself to fight for what truly matters - her children. When her philandering husband, the marquis of Mercer, is murdered in his own bed, it's whispered that Jonet is a femme fatale in more ways than one. But she is also lovely, rich, and - it is rumored - an unrepentant adulteress.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Jonet Rowland is surely that. When a woman consumed by sinister secrets opens the door to a strikingly handsome stranger, a powerful desire rushes in - and a love she could not have imagined. From its opening scene to its breath-catching climax, Liz Carlyle's newest novel is a vividly etched portrait of passion and intrigue.
