The forbidden widow

A sapphic regency romance of silk, scandal, and the slow undoing of everything proper.

When Delilah Everest is sent to spend the season with her terrifying aunt, she expects boredom, bad tea, and the slow suffocation of polite society. What she doesn't expect is to be ogled by the king, warned by the queen, and then completely undone by the wrong woman.

Duchess Agatha Fotherington-widowed, dangerously beautiful, and utterly above reproach-should be the picture of restraint.
Instead, she moves through the world like temptation in silk-every glance a touch, every word a promise. She looks at Delilah the way a starving woman looks at something she isn't meant to taste.

What begins as a glance across a ballroom turns into stolen touches in candlelit corridors, whispered confessions in the dark, and a secret that could ruin them both.

In a world where women are meant to be quiet, Delilah learns what happens when desire refuses to behave.
