A Second Match

By Emma Lange

Heat level
Behind closed doors

Widowed Gwen Tarrant has taken a position of companion to starchy Lady Chumleigh to support her family, which has lost everything due to their feckless father’s gambling. Gwen’s life gets more complicated though when Lady Chumleigh’s accomplished and divinely handsome nephew Lucian, Lord Warrick, arrives with some friends for an extended visit. Warrick finds spirited and beautiful Gwen a worthy challenge of his seductive skills, while Gwen struggles to resist his appeal. But just as deeper feelings start to draw the two together, Gwen’s father reappears and causes Warrick to believe the worst of the woman he cannot get out of his mind or heart.

Content warnings

For your information, not judgment.

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
