  The Earl of Chambourne’s scandalous reputation has been well-earned, but he
  has never forgotten the only woman he has ever loved—nor forgiven her for
  marrying another man while he was off fighting in France. When Christian
  discovers she is a widow, he hungers to possess her once again—as his
  mistress.
  
  Lady Sylviana Moorland, Countess of Ampthill, knows it is only a matter of
  time before she comes face to face with Christian again. No longer an
  innocent, she sees no reason not to take the sensual pleasure he offers. But
  can Sylvie resist falling for the seductive rake?
  
  Part of Carole Mortimer’s A Season of Secrets series.
