Now the mistress of Regency-period romantic suspense brings us a notorious widow and a man of mystery as they flirt with danger, fight temptation, and fall into the snare of desire and intrigue....

But Madeline has omance in the new a far more pressing problem than being called the Wicked Widow. She fears that she and her beloved aunt are being haunted!
