Lady in red - Mire Claremont

A richly romantic and enthralling novel of beauty, passion and scandalous
secrets from the acclaimed author of The Dark Lady. Perfect for fans of Grace Burrowes, Tessa Dare, Elizabeth Hoyt and Sarah MacLean.

Lady Mary Darrel should be the envy of London. Instead, all society
believes her dead. For Mary holds a secret so dangerous, her father
chose to keep her locked away...and have a grave made for her near her
mother's. Driven to the edge of desperation, Mary manages to escape the
asylum, only to find that her fate yet again rests in the hands of a
man...

Edward Barrons, Duke of Fairleigh, longs for some way
to escape the torment of his father's crimes. In Mary's warrior spirit
and haunted gaze - which so mirrors his own - he finally sees his path to redemption. He will stop at nothing to keep her safe, even as she seeks
revenge. But will the passion they discover in each other be enough to
save them from their demons?
