Lady Sophia has long been estranged from her husband, Vane Barwick, the Duke of Claxton, whose rumored list of amorous conquests includes almost every beautiful woman of the ton. Yet a shocking encounter with him in a crowded ballroom—and a single touch—are all it takes to reawaken her furious passion for him. But how can she trust the man who crushed her dreams and took away the one thing she wanted most?



Claxton has never forgiven himself for the youthful mistake that ruined his marriage to Sophia. Now, after nearly a year abroad, the reformed rogue vows to win back the only woman he's ever truly loved. He'll do whatever it takes to prove he can be the honorable husband she deserves—and the passionate lover she desires. As the snowdrifts deepen outside their ancestral home, can they rekindle the flame that burned so bright and find a new path to forever?

Lily Dalton, the author of the One Scandalous Season series, grew up as an Army brat, moving from place to place. She earned her English degree from Texas A & M University, after which she worked as a legal assistant in the fields of accident reconstruction and litigation. When she isn't at work on her next manuscript, she spends her time trying out new recipes, cheering on her favorite Texas football teams, and visiting thrift stores and flea markets. Lily lives with her family in Houston, Texas.

A classically trained actress in England, Veida Dehmlow has dozens of stage credits to her name. She has appeared in London's West End, national tours, and many regional repertory theaters. Her voice work includes commercials, video games, and the narration of books in a variety of genres, including nonfiction, historical romance, short stories, and children's books.

Reviews

"Dalton's Regency debut resonates with real feeling. . . . Unlike some one-note tortured heroes, Vane is sincere and appealing. Sophia's pain is very real, and every interaction is fraught with honest emotion. As they struggle to recapture their romance, readers will feel deep sympathy with both characters and hope for them to find happiness." ---Publishers Weekly Starred Review Expand reviews
