Regency England will never be the same when gaiety and ghosts combine in this captivating romantic novel.

Dear Reader:

I own that I've fallen in love with my new husband! And I knew very well I shouldn't. Though handsome and charming in a rakish way, Lucas Davin is a cutpurse from one of the worst criminal districts in London. I married him in a desperate attempt to keep my inheritance. No gentleman of Quality would have me, you see, because my estate is haunted by Lord Barrett Hamilton--a 300-year-old ghost.

I never believed the ghost existed until I saw Lucas suddenly transform into the very likeness of a gentleman--even a Lord! Is it possible, Gentle Reader, that he has been possessed by the ghost of Lord Hamilton? If so, should I have the ghost exorcised? If I do, then Lucas will return to his old life of thievery, and I will never see him again. If I don't, his very life may be in danger!

Please respond quickly, for my heart aches with the sweetest and most unladylike passion. I will manage as best I can until I receive good tidings and advice from you!

Mrs. Lucas Davin
nee Miss Caroline Wainwright

Though only 40, newly widowed Olivia, Duchess of Brandhurst, has already spent more than half her life in a horrible marriage. She'd been trapped for 22 years by a cruel combination of fear and society's expectations in a stifling facade of Victorian respectability that hid her husband's unfaithfulness and unspeakable desires. But Olivia's widowhood hides its own secrets. It seems that she alone realizes that the duke was murdered. And she is astounded by the intensity of her passionate response to Will Barnes, the handsome artist who'd come to design her husband's funeral plot. She knows that an alliance between a gardener's son and a highborn lady is unthinkable. But, when Olivia's freedom is threatened after the duke's murder comes to light, Will is her only hope. Despite whatever heartbreak their reunion might bring, Will must find a way to set Olivia free from her past, whether or not she chooses afterward to make The Duchess' Lover her own true love.
