“A marvelous gem of a book . . . I loved it!”—New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh
Martha Russell’s husband has died, leaving her a childless widow at twenty-one. She soon discovers that his neglect has continued even after his death—he has left her penniless. With an heir she would have inherited the estate, but instead, everything will go to his brother, an unscrupulous man who is reputed to have a taste for seducing and ruining female servants. Anxious to save her servants and herself, the proper lady devises a scandalous plan to produce a child and pass it off as her late husband’s. She’s not expecting to enjoy herself, but the man she hires to complete the wicked task has more to offer her than Martha ever imagined possible.
