The Late Husband - The Dunne Family Series, #4

Secrets, Scandals, and Second Chances

Madame Sabine de Roussard is the most sought after dressmaker in London. Her exquisite gowns dressing the city's most prestigous women. But behind the elegant façade lies a web of secrets. Sabine isn't really French. Her name isn't Sabine de Roussard. And the stylish modiste fled her Yorkshire home to escape the shadow of her past—a past that includes the accidental death of her abusive husband, Lawrence Russell. Or so she thought. When she glimpses a man who looks disturbingly like Lawrence in Hyde Park, her carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

Lord Edmund Grayson, the dashing Earl of Winburn, is utterly captivated by his clever, passionate dressmaker mistress. He doesn't even mind her comically unconvincing French accent. What he does mind is her sudden fear and secrecy. When a brutish man claiming to be Sabine's husband suddenly appears, Gray discovers the horrifying truth: the man isn't seeking reconciliation—he wants vengeance, and he'll stop at nothing to see Sabine dead.

Now, Gray must risk everything to protect the woman he loves, even as Sabine's courage and past threaten to shatter their fragile happiness. Can he save her from a society that views her as nothing more than a criminal—or will her freedom, and their future, be lost to a man who never deserved her?

An unforgettable tale of love, redemption, and courage, where the past is never truly buried, and love must fight to survive.
