Unbeknownst to Morgan, Gervase bears a longstanding grudge against her eldest brother, the duke, and is plotting to hurt him through her. She finds an unexpected friend and ally in rakish Gervase Ashford, the earl of Rosthorn. When Morgan's host family flees Brussels, she stays behind to nurse soldiers and seek news of Alleyne. The newest entry in romance veteran Balogh's Bedwyn family series (Slightly Married, etc.) takes a serious turn when 18-year-old Morgan, the duke of Bedwyn's youngest sibling, finds herself in the midst of a war zone looking for her brother Alleyne, who disappeared during the Battle of Waterloo.

Thus begins a sizzling courtship where two wary hearts are about to be undone by the most scandalous passion of all: glorious, all-consuming love. For Gervase, only the marriage bed will do, but Morgan simply will not have him. There is only one thing standing in his way: Morgan, who has achieved the impossible-she’s melted his coolly guarded heart. Nor is it of interest to the fiercely independent Lady Morgan herself…until one night of shocking intimacy erupts in a scandal that could make Gervase’s vengeance all the sweeter. But wedlock is not on the mind of the continent’s most notorious rake. From the moment he spies Lady Morgan Bedwyn across the glittering ballroom, Gervase Ashford, Earl of Rosthorn, knows he has found the perfect instrument of his revenge. Meet the Bedwyns-six brothers and sisters-men and women of passion and privilege, daring and sensuality.Įnter their dazzling world of high society and breathtaking seduction…where each will seek love, fight temptation, and court scandal…and where Morgan Bedwyn, the willful youngest daughter, discovers that true love is a temptation no woman can-or should-resist.
