For Claire Montjoye, widowhood is no release from scandal. Used as sexual currency by her notoriously libertine husband, she longs for a life of quiet respectability. But the ton's disapproval ensures that any man openly seeking her company will be tainted. When Xavier Westbourne pulls her away from peril, his touch fills her with yearning. Accepting his invitation to the opera is not only unwise for him, it's dangerous to her lonely heart. Xavier has endured one loveless marriage and refuses to repeat the mistake even for his motherless son. Yet Claire easily breaks through his wall of reserve, and her offer of private instruction in the sexual arts is irresistible. Consumed by passion, overwhelmed by ecstasy, they discover something neither thought existed--the freedom to open their hearts. Yet not all the horrors of the past are content to remain hidden by the mists of time. And suddenly their very survival depends on trusting that their love really can conquer all.
