Vying for a Viscount

Two strangers’ eyes meet, changing their lives forever.

Miss Letitia Fernsby married the Marquess of Rutherford before her first Season. He was twenty years her senior and needed an heir, and soon she gave him a son. During their marriage, she believed she became more to Rutherford than a mere vessel for his heirs. However, on the night of his tragic death, she discovered the truth, and now secrets, lies, and guilt forever shadow her.

Now out of mourning, she attends her first ball and is captivated by Archibald Fitzroy, Viscount Greyson. She knows nothing about him, yet she’s drawn to him. Their eyes meet across the crowded ballroom, and an instant connection sparks. Her insides flutter, and her breathing grows labored. All from the powerful glance of a handsome stranger with intense green eyes.

Greyson meets Lady Rutherford, a widow, and is desperately attracted to her. All his senses, long dormant, awaken when his eyes fall upon her for the first time, and he knows then that he wants to make her his. But the timing couldn’t be worse. He is chaperoning his young twin sisters. Their father is bedridden, and their mother refuses to leave his side. He also hides a secret and tells lies to the people most important to him to keep it safe.

When she catches him lying to her, she reacts the only way she knows to protect herself from heartache: she shuts away her feelings. But when tragedy strikes and she learns the truth about his life, will she be able to set aside her anger and hurt and rekindle the passion they once shared?
