She stole his heart, but can he walk away when another man claims to have married her first? Thaddeus Berringer has reconciled himself to a future of great riches, but also unceasing responsibility as the Duke of Exeter's only heir.
He's in no hurry to be leg-shackled, despite his cousin's urging.
But he's keenly interested in bed sport with a certain spinster who's proven more wanton than wallflower.

But just as he's considering the advantages of a lasting connection with her, he's stunned to learn his perfect lover was never his to kiss in the first place.
Eugenia has for years lived as a spinster, and is certain she'll remain one.
So it was with little hesitation that she begins a thrilling affair with the Duke of Exeter's handsome heir, Mr.
Berringer.
She revels in every stolen kiss and caress, but expects to lose him to a wife one day.
Never in a million years did she imagine she'd lose him to a husband.
Her dead husband back from the grave.
Confused and unconvinced, Eugenia is willing to do anything to keep control of her life-even if it means leaving her life and the man she loves more than she'd dreamed possible.
