A Gentleman of Substance

About this book

A secret child -- A secret love... When Lucy Rushton's lover was killed in battle, she wed his brother, the formidable viscount Drake Strickland, to protect her unborn child. The marriage tore her heart, yet after their vows were sealed, Lucy saw another side of her stern husband -- a compassionate gentleman of substance who lured her in ways Jeremy never had! Duty-bound to care for lovely Lucy, Drake never expected sharing his home would warm his cold, bare life. And when her eyes flashed with provocative beauty, sending an irresistible invitation, he longed to believe his wife's heart was wholly his.
