author:  Emma Wildes 
description: "A Rising star who Writes Incredible Historical Romance."<br /><br />"Emma Wildes has an amazing flair for taking what could be considered controversial subject matter and turning it into a beautiful love story that has the reader cheering... A truly rare and remarkable talent!"<br /><br />"A luxurious and sensual read. Both deliciously wicked and tenderly romantic... I didn't want it to end!" -- Celeste Bradley<br /><br />Regency fans will thrill to this superbly sensual tale of an icy widow and two decadent rakes. When the duke of Rothay and the earl of Manderville make a foolish and scandalously public wager over which of them is the more skillful lover, the firmly respectable and notoriously unavailable Lady Caroline Wynn makes the even more shocking offer to serve as judge.

Balancing deliciously erotic encounters with compelling romantic tension and populating a convincing historical setting with a strong cast of well-developed characters, prolific romance author Wildes ("A Devil's Bargain") provides a spectacular and skillfully handled story that stands head and shoulders above the average historical romance. <br />?Publisher's Weekly, (Starred Review, Pick o

  “You’ve brought me of the ends of the earth to die,” Emma Jacobs accused her
  best friend Izzy Montgomery.
  
  
  “Ends of the earth? What are you talking about?” Izzy said. “It’s just
  Colorado.”
