About this item
From New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh comes the third novel in the Horsemen Trilogy, in which a proper lady discovers just how desirable she really is after one very improper night... Sophia Armitage was a friend, indeed. She had agreed to help Sir Nathaniel Gascoigne find a husband for his cousin in the glittering city of London - only half hoping that she'd find one for herself. Sophia knew the odds were against her. Men simply did not seem to be attracted to her - not that way. Even her late husband had treated Sophia more as a companion than a lover. But then something shocking happened in London - Sophia found herself in the arms of Nathaniel himself. Not only did this act of indiscretion threaten their lifelong friendship, it revealed a depth of passion that defied everything Sophia believed about herself...
