This one jumps almost right off the bat with sexual scenes.  Our heroine is at a party talking with a friend of hers.  Across the room from them is the heroine's long lost love.  They had been involved years ago, and he had indicated he was going to offer for her.  But (you find out a little later) she saw him with another woman draped across him.  So, the girl accepts instead the first man to make her an offer of marriage.  Now she has been widowed long enough to be out and about in society again.Our hero has become the talk of the ton.  He beds a different woman almost every night apparently -- but satisfaction is guaranteed.  He has never married and secretly still pines for the lady he lost.  He had sent a card to the heroine's friend asking her to join him for an evening.  In the meantime he has decided to do away with his rakish lifestyle and settle down to be a respectable gentleman.Our heroine uses the card instead.  She arrives at his home cloaked and hooded so he doesn't realize to whom he is speaking at first.  Upon hearing her voice -- and getting a whiff of her perfume -- he knows who she is.  After a bout of lovemaking they get around to talking about the past and setting things straight between them.Not much in the way of character development.  Lots of heat though.  If the read wants a quick, steamy read this one will do.
