She made a list of promiscuous resolutions on a lark. He made her keep every one.

The ton may be ruled by men, but Lady Phoebe Drake has no intention of living by their rules. Widowed and cast aside, she rebuilt her fortune -- and her confidence -- as London's most sought-after milliner. Beneath her calm grace beats the heart of a woman who dreams of pleasure, passion, and a freedom she's never dared claim.

Her trusted solicitor, Mr. Joshua Forrester, has long been her anchor in a world eager to see her fall. Steady, honorable, and impossibly proper, he's the one man she should never want. But one forbidden kiss at her house party shatters every boundary between them, leaving Phoebe aching for more.

When Joshua discovers the secret list of her most wanton resolutions -- desires too wicked to ever speak aloud -- he's done resisting temptation. With every stolen touch and whispered promise, he vows to show Phoebe that surrendering her heart may be the boldest act of all.

In a society built on restraint, two hearts defy convention in a scandal that will set London ablaze.

In The Wanton Widow, author Helene Matheson delivers a lush, sensual Regency romance filled with scandal, wit, and irresistible heat. Perfect for fans of Evie Dunmore, Scarlett Scott, and Lisa Kleypas, this passionate tale proves that sometimes the most dangerous resolution of all is to fall in love.
