A widow who believes she's unworthy of second chances. A rake whose only loyalty is to himself.
Myra Everly lost everything when her husband died: her home, her security, and any hope that a man could truly want her. Forced to accept charity from the Dowager Countess of Fairfax, the very woman who arranged her disastrous first marriage, she wants nothing more than to disappear into the wallpaper while she waits for the dowager to choose her next husband.
Amos Wright, the most notorious American rake in London, is not known for his charity work. But when he agrees to finance the dowager's charity ball, he has one demand: the reclusive widow Myra must work alongside him. Suddenly he's everywhere she turns. Charming. Devastating. Completely inappropriate. And for the first time in her life, Myra finds herself truly desired by a man who makes no promises and offers no apologies for what he is.
But when the terrible secret about her late husband's untimely demise is revealed, Myra must confront the mountain of lies built up around her. When the smoke clears and all is laid bare, can two people haunted by their own demons find the courage to claim a second chance at happiness?
A scorching closed-door romance perfect for fans of unapologetic rakes, second chances, and heroines who deserve their happily ever after.
Book 3 in The Dowager's Garden series. Each book is a complete standalone with its own swoon-worthy love story.
