The dark affair - Mire Claremont

A richly romantic and enthralling novel of beauty, passion and scandalous
secrets from Maire Claremont, the acclaimed author of The Dark Lady and Lady In Red. Perfect for fans of Sherry Thomas, Johanna Lindsey and Lisa Kleypas.

Lady
Margaret Cassidy left a life of nobility behind in Ireland, forsaking
her grieving homeland to aid war-ravaged men in England. Still, she
never expected a cruel turn of fate to lock her into an unwanted
betrothal with one of her English patients - much less one as broken and
dangerous as Viscount Powers.

Wrecked by his tragic past,
Powers' opiate-addled sanity hangs precariously in the balance, leaving
him poised to destroy anyone who dares to utter the names of the wife
and child he still so deeply mourns. So when he is forced to marry
Margaret in exchange for freedom, he is shocked by the desire to earn
her trust, her body, and - most alarming of all - her heart...
