Romancing the Countess

When a fatal accident exposes his wife's affair with his best friend, Sebastian Madinger, Earl of Wriothesly, wants only silence, especially for the sake of his young son. Leah George, the friend's widow, has known the truth for almost a year and has no intention of keeping quiet any longer. She means to cast aside her mourning veil and host a party, whatever Society makes of it.

The earl's answer to the gossip is coolly practical: if the improper widow cannot be stopped, she can be married. Ashley March builds this historical romance around a clever and poignant premise, following two wounded people who find a passion neither was looking for. It suits readers who enjoy their love stories with scandal, grief and a hard-won second chance.
