Tempting the Viscount: A Forbidden Regency Romance of Ruin and Redemption (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798294000202)

He is a war-scarred hero who vowed never to feel again. She is a proud beauty with everything to lose. Their marriage of convenience was supposed to be cold and practical... until desire and love defied all reason.

Lady Honoria Mowbray was the darling of London society-until her fiancé cruelly jilted her, leaving her reputation in ruins. Now the gossips circle like wolves, eager to see the mighty fall. With no one left to defend her, she faces a future of disgrace...

Gabriel Sinclair, Viscount Ashbourne, returned from the Peninsular War with scars deeper than flesh. Brooding, stoic, and determined to keep the world at a distance, he wants nothing to do with London's frivolous Season. But when he sees Honoria-alone, proud, and on the edge of social ruin-something inside him refuses to look away.

He offers her a shocking bargain: a marriage of convenience.

What begins as a cold arrangement to silence scandal soon becomes something neither expected-a slow-burning passion that melts their defenses, and a tenderness that threatens to awaken Gabriel's locked-away heart. But just as Honoria dares to believe in love again, a jealous rival strikes with a fresh scandal that could destroy them both.

Can a man who has seen too much of life's cruelty learn to fight for love? Or will the ghosts of Gabriel's past-and the cruelty of society-tear them apart forever?
