About this ebook
For readers of Regency Historical Romance who like their stories with a little steam and a lot of heart.
Gideon Kembal, Marquis of Holwell, vows to save those he loves from the shocking scandal which threatens to tear his family apart. Duty bound, he sails to Italy, determined to bring his wayward mother and sister back to England.
Serafina de Luca is the obedient daughter of one of Rome’s most wealthy and powerful families. Despite her heart’s secret desire, she knows her future lies in a loveless, political marriage.
Arriving in Rome, Gideon finds himself at war with his mother. His only respite is found in reconnecting with the enchanting Serafina, the woman he bitterly regrets not having made his wife when she visited his family in England. But Gideon is determined to make up for lost time and correct his mistake.
The attraction which sparks once more between them soon becomes a blaze of passionate temptation. Serafina accepts Gideon’s offer of a life with him in England. A second chance at love beckons.
But when their secret romance is exposed, her family is outraged. Serafina faces the heartbreak of being forced to marry a man she barely knows, while Gideon finds himself fighting an honor duel, to the death.
As hope stands on the edge of bitter despair, can the holy city deliver them a miracle?
Sasha Cottman writes Regency romance with heroes to die for, and heroines who are strong and courageous.
