A Night of Forbidden Desire Unleashes a Web of Secrets in One Forbidden Evening, a Historical Regency Romance from Jo Goodman
Haunted by the memory of her husband's tragic death, Cybelline Caldwell is torn between her roles as a mother and a woman. Longing for the embrace of a man, she succumbs to the allure of a masquerade party hosted by the mysterious Christopher Hollings, Earl of Ferrin. Behind the veil of anonymity, Cybelline seeks a night of passionate abandon, choosing Ferrin as her willing partner in this forbidden game.
But, when unexpected passion excites desires neither could have foreseen, Ferrin cannot resist the urge to uncover the identity of his mysterious lover. When he eventually learns Cybelline's true identity, he launches a quest to earn her trust.
Cybelline, however, has no desire to be found by anyone. The mysterious letters she's been receiving accuse her of a sinister crime-the murder of her husband. Terrified and desperate to protect her young daughter, she flees London, hoping to escape her past and the dangerous accusations against her.
In his determination to unravel the mystery surrounding the captivating Cybelline Caldwell, Ferrin gains her household's trust and captures her daughter's heart. As their connection deepens, Cybelline can't deny her growing feelings for the persistent earl even as they inch closer to the shocking truth concealed within the sinister letters that threaten to destroy them.
