Book excerpt: "Sometimes I could scream with boredom." Measured and self-effacing, Lady Sephora Connaught knows there is another, more reckless side to her. When she's rescued from the fast-flowing Thames by the wild and dangerous Francis St. Cartmail, Earl of Douglas, suddenly her confined world bursts into vibrant life. Francis has never fit into high society's narrow world, so why does he feel so connected to—and undeniably aroused by—this "angel of the ton"? She offers him hope, but only time will tell if their fragile marriage is enough to banish his demons forever!
