The Seduction of His Wife
The last place Richard Mansfield, Earl of Asbury, expects to find his wife, Emma, is in a house of harlots; then again, it has been 12 years since Richard set eyes on Emma. The last person Emma expects to run into in London’s most notorious brothel is her husband, Richard, especially since encountering him now threatens to ruin her life, which is already spiraling out of control. What Richard doesn’t know is that Emma is being blackmailed by the Earl of Waverly, who possesses a very “revealing” self-portrait painted by Emma, who will do anything to keep her identity as England’s most scandalous artist a secret. But Richard is equally determined not only to find out exactly what passionate secrets his wife is keeping, but also to win his way back into her life. In her second captivating historical romance, Clare turns up the sensual heat with a sizzling, sexy tale of a husband and wife engaged in a seductive battle of wits that proves to be splendidly entertaining. --John Charles
