In the Thrill of the Night
About this ebook
Fans of the historical romances of Sabrina Jeffries, Loretta
Chase, and Jo Beverly will enjoy this sexy, award-winning romance by New York
Times bestselling author Candice Hern.
Meet the Merry Widows – a group of respectable ladies with a
secret pact that is anything but respectable!
The five friends who act as patronesses of charity balls are assured of
money and position. None are interested
in marrying again. But they have no
intention of forsaking physical passion for the rest of their lives. Instead, they make a daring pact to seek out
lovers for the pure pleasure of it.
Marianne Nesbitt adored her late husband, David, but the
racy reminiscences of the Merry Widows make her wonder if she missed something
special. Might she find it now through a
love affair? Uncertain how to go about
it, she asks Adam Cazenove, an old friend and notorious rake, to tutor her in
the arts of seduction.
The brazen request turns Adam's world upside down. He never imagined his best friend's very
proper and exceedingly attractive widow would seek out a lover. If not for his recent betrothal to a young
beauty, he would jump at the chance to warm Marianne's bed. Since he cannot bear the thought of another
man doing so, he foils her every attempt at seduction.
Until one night of unintended passion changes everything.
"Hern gracefully crafts a tale of friendship and
romance between two beautifully matched protagonists that is delectably sexy,
delightfully clever, and simply superb." – Booklist
