She vowed never to love again.
He vowed to unravel every secret she hides.
Previously published as The Widow and the Doctor: A Regency Romance of Secrets, Scandal, and Second Chances by Sinclair, Violet (AUTHOR).
London, 1873 – Lady Juliette Harcourt is no naïve debutante. Widowed young and determined to secure her sister’s future, she’s traded the quiet isolation of the countryside for the glittering, cutthroat world of Mayfair society. Every appearance is calculated, every smile a weapon—and she refuses to let her heart become another casualty.
But society has other plans. Whispers follow Juliette wherever she goes, fueled by the scandal of a pistol leveled at a lord who dared cross her boundaries. Now, she is the most talked-about widow of the Season—and the most pursued.
Enter Alexander Bentley, a brooding physician who sees through Juliette’s impeccable façade. His cool indifference is as infuriating as it is tempting, and soon his quiet strength threatens the walls she’s so carefully built. Yet danger lurks in the shadows of London’s ballrooms, and Juliette must decide whether risking her heart is worth the price of her reputation…or her life.
Perfect for readers who love:
