But Thayne is thoroughly captivated by Beatrice, and finds himself increasingly drawn to the beautiful, sensual, more mature and sophisticated Lady Somerfield, and soon discovers he wants more than a love affair. Beatrice, however, has vowed never to marry again. But when their private fling leads to public scandal, more than one life is turned upside down.& ;& ;

Ratings and reviews

Too explicit!!!! More of a sex book than a love story. Sad. Great characters and story, but I gagged on the forced vulgarity.
