“Adventure, passion and pure reading pleasure!” --Jo Beverley
After the death of his sweetheart when he was at university, Daniel Herbert buried his grief in medical studies and his passion for healing. Viewed as a saint by those who know him, in his own mind he never quite manages to live up to his own high standards.
Most men would be thrilled to learn they've inherited a title and estate from a distant relative, but Daniel is appalled because the burden of wealth will interfere with his medical calling. Warily he accepts that he must enter society and seek a wife—a sensible woman who can oversee his properties, leaving him free to continue his work. He does not expect to become intoxicated by a woman called the Black Widow, who is as mysterious as she is shockingly beautiful…
Jessie Kelham’s looks have always been a curse. Now alone with a young daughter and a perilous secret, she is in need of protection. But dangerously attractive Daniel Herbert is not the kind of husband she has in mind. If he recognizes her, the demons of her past will surely erupt. Yet they cannot keep apart—and soon they are drawn into a union that may bring joy—or shattering danger…

She's losing her dress, lol ! What a beautiful cover and I don't know who she's looking at, but her smile is full of promises ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is. I hope the book is just as good as the cover.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think she's trying to entice our hero. I think she's doing a mighty fine job. I'm so glad I found this cover. Glad you liked the choice.
ReplyDeleteI know. I wish we could see his face.
ReplyDeleteMary Jo Putney's books are usually very good. :)
ReplyDeleteThey use that model a lot on historical romance novels--first time I've seen them color her hair that dark. She's usually a dark blonde or strawberry blonde.
Truth be told I hardly recognize female models unless it's the same cover design. Now guys I can pick them out. Lol.
ReplyDeleteyeah, guys are worth looking at. ;)
ReplyDeleteNow that would make for an awesome cover. :)
