Catriona, Lady Blayne is recovering from a most delicate
situation. Driven to the brink of madness by love for her late husband, a young man too ill to meet the demands of the
marriage bed, she teeters on the brink of scandal. Now she must face the carnal temptation personified by her
husband’s cousin and heir, James, the new Lord Blayne. His sensual appeal, contrasted with his iron will and stern self-
mastery fascinates her. She can’t help but ask: what if sensual indulgence is the only way out of her darkness? However,
she is not free to explore the idea. There are those who seek to control the young widow, keeping her imprisoned
through emotional manipulation and physical coercion. With her growing restlessness, the very people she loves and
trusts the most are becoming an increasing danger to her sanity and safety.
James is determined to protect Catriona—but he will not
soften to her again. She rejected him once and James can’t risk losing his heart a second time. As heir to the Blayne
baronetcy, he must marry a woman socially and politically appropriate. Such a scandalously self-indulgent lady as
Catriona won’t do. Yet the pretty girl he once knew has grown into a beautiful, curvaceous woman that is every man’s
dream.
Especially his.
