Book description
Lady Angeline Dudley's longs for a simple, ordinary suitor with a kind
heart and good nature, so when Edward Ailsbury, the new Earl of Heyward,
rescues her with unmatched civility from the advances of a scoundrel,
Angeline thinks that she has found her true love. However, Edward has
his future neatly mapped out and hopes to wed his steadfast companion, a
woman who shares his values of loyalty, respect, and decorum . Angeline
is the last woman on earth for Edward and yet a stolen kiss in the
moonlight awakens something deep and primal within him. He offers
marriage but Angeline knows that Edward's proposal is born of duty, not
love. However, deep down she believes that Edward's dedication to
convention will melt behind closed doors, where sensuality and seduction
play wicked games. For a proper wife by day can become a husband's
secret mistress by night, when delicious desire rules. Mary Balogh is
