Scandalous Redemption (Ladies and Scoundrels Book 3) Ebook
She swore she would never marry again.
He refuses to love her by halves.
After a brutal marriage and a scandal that nearly ruined her, Lady Claudia Akford has no intention of surrendering her freedom a second time. Now widowed and determined to reclaim her place in society, she wants only independence, peace, and perhaps a little pleasure on her own terms. What she does not want is a gentleman with honorable intentions and the power to unsettle every defense she has built.
Then she meets Henry Shillington, Viscount Hartwell.
Kind, steady, and dangerously handsome, Henry sees past Claudia’s notorious reputation to the wounded, intelligent, passionate woman beneath. Their wary friendship sparks into undeniable desire, and for the first time in years, Claudia is tempted to risk her heart. But while she might accept a fleeting affair, Henry wants far more than stolen kisses and half-measures.
He wants her trust.
He wants her love.
He wants forever.
As old wounds rise and society watches with sharp eyes, Claudia must choose between the safety of the walls she has built and the man who makes her long for everything she swore she would never have again. But Henry will never be her secret, and he will never settle for being less than all hers.
In a world ruled by gossip, duty, and appearances, can a scarred widow and the gentleman determined to cherish her prove that love is worth the risk?
