Opposites attract and desire clouds judgment, but at times that’s what an unlikely couple needs.
Widowed two months after she married, Constance Knight thought to put herself back onto the Marriage Mart once her mourning period ended. However, the evening she wished to stretch her legs and take in the fresh evening air, she’d nearly robbed. But when a handsome stranger rescues her from that fate, that was when the rumors began to swirl, and they were quite erroneous if intriguing.
Mr. Gregory Hamilton might be a solicitor, but he also dabbles in boxing when he’s not in the office. One evening as he returned home, he witnessed a woman being assaulted on the pavement, and he was out of his carriage in a thrice. After putting down the threat with a couple of well-timed punches, he bundled the pretty woman into his arms merely to settle her nerves. By the time he escorted her into the house where a rout was being thrown, gossip had put them together in the most scandalous of ways.
As the whispers and stares intensify over the following days, Constance wishes to fight back and defend her reputation, but a chance conversation with Mr. Hamilton has her changing her mind. When the young widow is receptive to his idea, Gregory is most pleased to take her on as his mistress in truth. Except once they finally share intimacy, everything changes for them both. If they take a chance, even though they’re from different worlds, they might have a romance to be proud of unless fate decides to yank it away.
