Beautiful Arabella Darnley had had a moment of weakness--and feared she would pay for it forever. She had wed handsome Sir Richard Barton only to discover too late how dreadful life with him was.
But now Richard was dead, the loser in a duel, and Arabella was free at last. She told herself that never again would she yield to the folly of her feelings and sacrifice herself on the marriage altar.
But when the imperious Earl of Warrington set out to strip away her defenses in a perfectly plotted campaign of conquest, Arabella found that the perilous power of love was just as great the second time around....

This book is a true 3.5 star. It held together for almost the entire book and fell apart while she was describing a situation that led to the entire plot. She did not come off well in her description. Other than that, it had the correct language, history, and environment. Unfortunately, she had no humor in her book. To be a true five star it must have humor.
