Summary

The one woman a notorious rake truly desires is also his greatest challenge in the USA Today bestselling author’s “expertly fashioned Regency romance” (Booklist).   Anthony Hamilton cannot help it. The way he looks, the way he lives, his past—it all conspires to make him a man women desire. His name fills gossip circles in a seemingly endless, lurid drama. But he’s never forgotten the only woman he’s ever truly wanted…and yet could never have.   Celia Reece knew Anthony well before his scandalous reputation. The young man she remembers spoke kindly, made her laugh, and quickened her pulse with his devilish good looks. But Celia’s mother had designs for her life that didn’t include Anthony. Now that Celia is widowed, Anthony refuses to let any obstacle stand in his way. He intends to win Celia’s heart with the same skills that made him London’s most irresistible rake . . .
