description: Lucy Ashton had long ago given up her quest for true love. In the rarified society of Victorian England Lucy plays the game; flirting dancing and dabbling in the newly fashionable spiritualism. Even marrying when and who she's supposed to. If the stuffy Duke of Sussex cannot spark the passion she craves he can at least give her a family a home of her own and a place to belong. But when her polite marriage reveals a caring and sensual man Lucy begins to wonder if she can indeed have it all.But Lord Sussex is not the man the London ton has come to admire. And Lucy has some ghosts of her own as well. Thus when a blackmail scheme turns to threats of danger the newfound peace of the Sussex marriage is cast upon the rocks. Passion has a price Lucy learns. And not all ghosts stay buried.
