A New York Times Bestseller

Fleeing Naples in disguise, the Countess of Glasbury arrived at his room in the dead of night, never feeling more helpless or in need. As she desperately seeks freedom from a cruel marriage, who could be a better ally than the darkly handsome and discreet solicitor who'd kept all her secrets? He had always been her defender, her knight in shining armor. But one moment of reckless passion changes everything.

From the Inside Flap:

A passionate new historical romance in Madeline Hunter's nationally bestselling "Seducer" series. This one features a fifth member of the London Dueling Society, the reserved, enigmatic lawyer to the Laclere family: Julian Hampton. All his life, it seemed, Julian had been in love with Penelope, now Countess of Glasbury. And when he learned the horrors she had endured at the hands of her vicious husband, Julian was instrumental in arranging for her escape to Italy. But he has never forgotten the love of his childhood, the woman he had rescued first as a "damsel in distress" when she was a girl, and then for real once she had blossomed into woman. When Penelope returns secretly to London, Julian is the one she turns to, even though her trust in him puts both their reputations, and ultimately their lives, in peril.
