Cecilia Grant
In Cecilia Grantâ€™s emotionally rich and deeply passionate Regency romance debut, a deal with a rumored rogue turns a proper young woman into . . . ,A Lady Awakened,.,Newly widowed and desperate to protect her estate and beloved servants from her malevolent brother-in-law, Martha Russell conceives a daring plan. Or rather, a daring plan to conceive. After all, if she has an heir on the way, her future will be secured. Forsaking all she knows of propriety, Martha approaches her neighbor, a London exile with a wicked reputation, and offers a strictly business proposition: a month of illicit interludes . . . for a fee.,Theophilus Mirkwood ought to be insulted. Should be appalled. But how can he resist this siren in widowâ€™s weeds, whose offer is simply too outrageously tempting to decline? Determined sheâ€™ll get her moneyâ€™s worth, Theo endeavors to awaken this shamefully neglected beauty to the pleasures of the fleshâ€”only to find her dead set against taking any enjoyment in the scandalous bargain. Surely she canâ€™t resist him forever. But could a ladyâ€™s sweet surrender open their hearts to the most unexpected arrival of all . . . love?
