And so to Lord Darington he makes a most scandalous request.
Burke Darington Third Earl of Blackwood and an austere, solitary man, can scarce believe his ears. Apparently, his whispered reputation has earned him an outrageous solicitation-Lord Sennett wants him to seduce his wife.

A seduction, a shooting, and an unexpected matter of the heart, throw two wounded souls into a sensational scandal.
Excerpt:
“Are you all right? Did he hurt you?”
His deep voice cut through the night with the swiftness of a warrior’s sword, and though his words were kind, his tone was not. In fact, he sounded downright angry.
“Yes. I mean no. I mean…” She straightened her bent bonnet as best she could before saying, “I’m fine.” It was hardly the truth. While she suffered no more than a few bruises, her heart pounded a wild tempo against her ribs and her body shook to rattle her bones.
Lord Darington seized her then, his hands like steel bands around her upper arms. His grip was firm, angry, but not painful, though it no doubt could be should he choose to make it so. He was holding back. The man could snap her like a winter twig if he so desired.
“Have you no sense at all?” He spat. “Do you have any idea what could have happened to you out here?”
Rose tipped her head back. She wished she hadn’t. But for a slight tick, his face could have been stone, inset with glaring eyes as dark and turbulent as a tempestuous storm. Intensity radiated from his powerful physique in waves she could swear were tangible. Lord Darington wasn’t just angry. The man was furious.
