Lieutenant Marlowe Hughes was meant to be convalescing at his family's country home after his return from the Spanish front when a chance encounter with the high-spirited Lady Arabella Balfrey left him reeling. Marlowe is immediately infatuated with Arabella, who is beautiful and captivating, and who also happens to be the wife of Marlowe's closest childhood friend. Arabella urges him to forget his pain by being consumed by the intense connection that has blossomed between them, but Marlowe also finds a further complication is the opinion of a certain Miss Katherine Jennings, the surprisingly charming beauty that his mother has decided he should wed. Will Marlowe risk his family's approval, his deepest friendship, and society's scorn for Arabella's fiery embrace? Or will he discover that there is something more powerful than lust after all? Lust, lies, drama, and love abound in this completed Regency-era tale.
