Short Synopsis
In Lily Dalton's Regency debut, Lady Sophia and the Duke of Claxton try to rekindle the passionate relationship they shared years ago, before he betrayed her trust.

Full Synopsis
Lady Sophia has long been estranged from her husband, Vane Barwick, the Duke of Claxton, whose rumored list of amorous conquests includes almost every beautiful woman of the ton. Yet a shocking encounter with him in a crowded ballroom—and a single touch—are all it takes to reawaken her furious passion for him. But how can she trust the man who crushed her dreams and took away the one thing she wanted most?

Claxton has never forgiven himself for the youthful mistake that ruined his marriage to Sophia. Now, after nearly a year abroad, the reformed rogue vows to win back the only woman he's ever truly loved. He'll do whatever it takes to prove he can be the honorable husband she deserves—and the passionate lover she desires. As the snowdrifts deepen outside their ancestral home, can they rekindle the flame that burned so bright and find a new path to forever?

"Dalton's Regency debut resonates with real feeling. . . . Unlike some one-note tortured heroes, Vane is sincere and appealing. Sophia's pain is very real, and every interaction is fraught with honest emotion. As they struggle to recapture their romance, readers will feel deep sympathy with both characters and hope for them to find happiness." ---Publishers Weekly Starred Review

"The first in Dalton's One Scandalous Season series grabs the [listener's] emotions in an intensely passionate love story, filled with misunderstandings, past indiscretions, trust and forgiveness." ---RT Book Reviews
