From the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Wedding , a classic Regency romance back in print and in trade paperback for the first time. Though the widowed Chloe Stanforth loves her house by the sea, a series of puzzling incidents has left her unsettled and anxious to find a new home. Her situation is complicated by the arrival of her husband's cousin, for whom she has long harbored a deep and guilty attraction. Back from the war, Justin Delamere hopes he can finally woo Chloe, until he suspects her guilty of treason-and murder. Can he trust the woman he's always desired, and can Chloe surrender her most private secrets to the man who controls her freedom and now her heart?
As a big fan of Jo Beverley I really wanted to read her early novels, as with those authors I favour I like to have all of their work in the category I read ie Historical Romance. This book was delightful but lacked the finesse brought to her later novels still as allways with her works Miss Beverley did not disappoint and I was glad to add it to my collection.
This book was SO good.

The intrigue and romance in this book are deliciously well written. I found myself talking to the book, yelling at characters. In short, I became personally involved. And if you like excellently written sexual tension...WOW does this have it.
