When her heart is at stake, does this formidable widow dare to cause a little scandal?
Sally Cowan, Countess of Norwood, spent ten miserable years married to an overbearing oaf. But before she can have some fun, this dashing Widow sets out find her pretty, headstrong niece Meg a good husband. And when rich and charming Sir Charles Kinglake gives every sign that he can’t get enough of Meg’s company, Sally is delighted to play chaperone at all their meetings. How disastrous, when Sally realises that she’s found her niece’s perfect match – but she wants him for herself!
From the moment Sir Charles Kinglake meets sparkling Lady Norwood, he’s smitten. He courts her as a gentleman should but because she’s acting as chaperone to her niece, that means most times, Meg accompanies them. The lack of privacy chafes a man consumed by desire, but Charles’s intentions are honourable. However, when he discovers that his careful pursuit has convinced Sally he’s interested in Meg rather than her, he flings the rules out the window. It’s time for charming Sir Charles to abandon the subtle approach and play the passionate lover, not the society suitor!
