First Time in Paperback
SummaryNew York Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney
is acclaimed by critics and readers alike for unforgettable
storytelling and arresting characters. Now she introduces a
Regency England you've never seen before, where dazzling
magic is practiced in all but the highest reaches of
Society, and where desire is the most mysterious and
seductive force of all.
One of the Duke of Wellington's most respected officers,
Jack Langdon, Lord Frayne, takes his family's honor very
seriously. He also hides a shameful secret: a talent for
sorcery he has been raised to suppress and openly reject.
But after an injury lands Jack at death's door, his only
chance at survival lies with Abigail Barton, a peer's
daughter and a skilled wizard. Her price: Jack's hand in
marriage. It isn't long before Jack feels an irresistible
attraction to his forthright new wife, whose allure is as
intense as the reawakening magical abilities he can no
longer deny.
Abigail had to make a great sacrifice to perform a spell
powerful enough to save Lord Frayne, and although she cannot
help but be drawn to her reluctant husband's surprising
sensitivity and kindness, she knows all too well his
distaste for magic. Once she has Jack's name and the child
she has always longed for, she is determined to live apart
from him so that he can preserve his reputation—and so
that she herself can stay true to her gifts.
But neither Abby nor Jack reckons on the deep,
long-simmering passions her spell ignites. They challenge
each other's extraordinary powers and deepest desires for
the sake of a love that may cost them all they cherish most.
