Secrets of the Heart

PASSION BEFORE PRIDE

Theirs should have been the perfect marriage. Sarah was as wildly in love with the Duke of Cranwell as he was with her...until, on their wedding night, Sarah was forced to reveal the secret of her past. And that, midst great public scandal, ended their marriage almost before it began.

Then in fashionable Bath their paths crossed again. The stunningly beautiful Sarah knew it was folly to think this dashing and sought-after lord would ever get over her shocking betrayal. His fury made it painfully clear that they should separate again, this time forever.

Sarah could find a thousand arguments against the wisdom - or likelihood - of so miserable an edict. For one, the duke's ridiculous masculine pride was no match for the sensuous power of her affection for him...as she counted on love to melt the last shred of his resistance to her passionate surrender...
