O tej e-knjigi

A beautiful widow is accused of her late husband’s murder in this Regency-set story of romantic suspense by a New York Times–bestselling author.
 
The upper class regarded Sir Benjamin Wright with utmost honor and respect. Yet Lady Emma knew her husband was, in fact, a drunken, jealous brute who delighted in humiliating her both in and out of the bedroom.
 
His murder had been a blessing, she thought—that is until the constable’s accusing finger pointed to her.
 
But it soon becomes apparent that her late husband hid many secrets and had many enemies. When the practical Comte Saint-Juste arrives on the scene offering his services, Lady Emma is about to discover what the French dedication to l’amour really means . . .
 
Originally published under the name Marion Chesney, this is a suspenseful love story from an author who “delivers top-notch Regency fare” (RT Reviews).
