About this ebook

A handsome, idealistic politician.
A beautiful wife with a sinful past.
As their marriage of convenience turns to love, it faces an earth-shattering revelation.

Three years since Adelaide, Lady Leeson, entered into a marriage of duty, she finds herself deeply and irrevocably in love with the honourable and compassionate husband who rescued her during her darkest days.

But when Adelaide's former lover returns to England, now a notorious figure thanks to his scandalous poems, society becomes consumed with uncovering the identity of his muse.

As Adelaide's mother upholds the façade of her daughter's faultless past, Adelaide must reinforce these fabrications—at great personal cost.

For if Tristan were to discover the truth, could he possibly continue to love her?

A passionate and tender tale of a second chance at love, filled with regrets, redemption, and the mending of past mistakes.

Here's what the readers say:

"Wonderful characters and a really fabulous story which I just have to recommend!" ~ Kindle Reader

"I just finished reading this novel (second in the series) and I’m sorry it’s finished!! Incredible story! Great characters! Lives interwoven, some a tangled mess! Love, lies, betrayal, even a murder! This story has it all!! And when it looks like all lives have been destroyed, you won’t believe the ending!" ~ Kindle reader

Beverley Oakley

Beverley Oakley was seventeen when she bundled up her first her 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Unfortunately drowning her heroine on the last page was apparently not in line with the expectations of romance readers so Beverley became a journalist. Twenty-six years later Beverley was delighted to receive her first publishing contract from Robert Hale (UK) for a romance in which she ensured her heroine was saved from drowning in the icy North Sea. Since 2009 Beverley has written more than thirteen historical romances, mostly set in England during the early nineteenth century. Mystery, intrigue and adventure spill from their pages and if she can pull off a thrilling race to save someone’s honour – or a worthy damsel from the noose – it’s time to celebrate with a good single malt Scotch. Beverley lives with her husband, two daughters and a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy the size of a pony opposite a picturesque nineteenth century lunatic asylum. She also writes Africa-set adventure-filled romances tarring handsome bush pilot heroes, and historical romances with less steam and more sexual tension, as Beverley Eikli.
