Beschreibung
THEY EACH HAVE THEIR SECRETS... Lucy Ashton had long ago given up her quest for true love. In the rarified society of Victorian England, Lucy plays the game - flirting, dancing and dabbling in the newly fashionable spiritualism. Even marrying when - and who - she's supposed to. If the stuffy Duke of Sussex cannot spark the passion she craves, he can at least give her a family and a home of her own.But when her polite marriage reveals a caring and sensual man, Lucy wonders if she can indeed have it all. But Sussex is not the man the London ton sees. And Lucy has some ghosts of her own, as well. Thus, when a blackmail scheme turns to threats of danger, the newfound peace of their marriage is ruined. Passion has a price, Lucy learns. And not all ghosts stay buried.
