Clandestine Passion - Paperback

by Felicity Niven (Author)

"Her writing is sharp and exquisite."-Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton Series

Age and rank divide them. She will not face her weakness. He will not embrace his strength. Never have two people needed each other more.

Wealthy widow Catherine Lovelock thinks she will never love again. And then she meets James Cavendish, Marquess of Daventry. A handsome, gray-eyed souse of a rake-and seventeen years her junior. He couldn't possibly be interested in bedding her . . . or could he?

James Cavendish, heir apparent to the Duke of Middlewich, has found a way he can serve his country and his future king. But to do so, he must create a web of lies and destroy his own reputation. And then he meets the one woman who can unmask him.

For too long, Catherine and James have both played roles. She, the good wife and mother. He, the dissolute rake.

The truth will come out when the clothes come off.

Clandestine Passion is book two of the steamy Regency romance series The Lovelocks of London. However, it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone book. It has an age-gap storyline, a widow, spies, a happily-ever-after ending, and no cliffhanger.

Content warnings: steamy sexual material, coarse language, physical and sexual assault.
