Beschreibung

The lovely young orphan Sedela Craven is very excited to hear that the Marquis of Windlesham is returning home from active service in the Duke of Wellington’s Army in France at the end of the long war against Napoleon Bonaparte.
 
He, however, lingers on in London with his beautiful lover Lady Esther Hasting, an exquisite yet unscrupulous woman who is unfaithful to him while striving to ensnare him into marriage for his riches and his celebrated title.
 
Informed of this by her Nanny, Sedela dresses up as the Windles’s family ghost, Lady Constance, who appears as a warning whenever the family is in danger.
 
Entering the Marquis’s bedroom at midnight through a secret passage she warns him that he is in grave peril from a woman who is unfaithful to him with a man he trusts as his friend.
 
To his fury the Marquis soon discovers that the ‘ghost’ spoke the truth when he catches Esther in bed with his friend.
 
It is only back at his estate preparing with Sedela for a lavish party for his family and friends that he begins to realise what his heart truly desires and it is Sedela.
 
But it seems that it is too late, for she has been kidnapped and faces death at the forked tongue of a deadly cobra.
 
The only hope is that the Marquis can rescue her in time to save her life and their love!

She knows that Christopher is the love of her life, but they've never taken their passion beyond a few chaste kisses.

    So who else can Melanie turn to but her older brother Shawn to help her navigate the maze of a man's more worldly persuasions? Will his hesitant advice be enough to help her properly consummate her engagement? Or are she and Christopher doomed to awkward and mediocre sex 'til death do they part?
