âWonât you come to bed, my lord?â In a vulnerable moment, Alethea Forsythe allows herself to be seduced by a married peer. Now she is with childâand without recourse. Her reputation will soon be in tatters and she will be forced to wed a strangerâunless she takes matters into her own hands. When Jack Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Manning, is summoned from the House of Pleasure on a matter of importance, he hardly expects to receive a marriage proposal. Heâs long been aware of Aletheaâs infatuation with him, but at twenty-three, taking on an expectant bride is not in his plans. Yet the desperation in the ladyâs lovely eyes overrides his misgivings. Alethea would not have believed it possible for a man to be too chivalrous. But though her new husband is perfectly amicable in public, he insists they maintain separate quarters. Desperate to possess his heart and prove herself a wife in every way, she boldly reaches out to Jack. And as their unexpected connection between silken sheets is tested by jealousy and misfortune, Jack must decide where honor endsâ¦and true passion begins . .
