Lady Katherine (Kit) Egerton's elder husband has died and and Kit's sister is ill. Kit goes to her dear sister Anne's bedside to care for her. Anne married a ruthless cruel man, The Earl of Rutledge, who has secretely lusted after Kit. The earl now feels free to pursue Kit and when Anne dies he tries to force Kit into compliance. Kit flees in the night, fearing for her life, to the only person who she knows will help her, Abby, her former nanny, who now is the owner of Willows, an elegant brothel. Abby puts Kit in a bedroom where she will not be bothered. Meanwhile, Sir Martin Powell, having finished his work with the Crown celebrates by spending a night at Willows and ends up by mistake in Kit's bedroom.SPOILER:A mix-up of bedrooms has Sir Martin and Kit in each other's arms and years oflonging for a bit of love in their loveless lives ignite to create a night of undiluted passion.I shall leave to others the job of redacting the rest of the story and express my admiration for the author, who does a wonderful job of mixing history with romance and gives us another suspenseful story full of romance and excitement.I read the author's first book and looked forward to the next one and I was just as pleased with the second one as I had been with the first.
