Description

It is 1814 and she is the talk of the town …

Sir Benedict Silverwood needs a new wife.

Kate Moreton, an impoverished spinster and Italian teacher, is an outlandish suggestion, but one that grows on Benedict, alongside his attraction to Kate.

Kate has been hopelessly in love with him for years so the idea of marriage when he doesn’t reciprocate her feelings is appalling, but so very tempting at the same time.

Sparks fly and passion flares after the wedding, but it becomes clear that incendiary secrets threaten Kate and Benedict’s fragile new life together. The question is, will he be able to love and trust the second Lady Silverwood?
