Publisher Description
When a kiss at a masquerade ball leads a roguish lord to Lady Peacock—London's most curious member of the beau monde—will he have what it takes to keep her for more than a midnight tryst?
If she were honest with herself, Lady Nora Riley is done with marriage and romance. They only proved a disappointment. Having suffered through a lukewarm union of eighteen years, the last thing she wants is another husband. However, after a sensual dance with a stranger, she wouldn't mind entering into a torrid affair.
Giles Billingsley—11th Viscount of Hadley—is an unrepentant rogue. He's prided himself on never falling in love, entering parson's mousetrap, or being with a woman for more than one night. But the moment he meets a mysteriously fascinating woman while at a summer masquerade ball, all of those things start to lose their luster.
What was supposed to be a midnight tryst proves too tempting. Over the course of a month, the two conduct a passionate relationship where they discover truths about each other and themselves that throw their current thinking into jeopardy. But when an innocent stroll through Hyde Park one evening becomes harrowing, only they can decide what their futures will hold and whether love will feature into those plans.

Just an Affair
Lady Nora Riley, Lady Peacock, and Giles Billingsley, 11th Viscount of Hadley, meet during a masquerade party. Nora is a widow who did not have a happy marriage and doesn’t care for another. Giles is a bachelor and a rogue. After an evening of fun and dancing, they agree to conduct a month-long affair. They only wanted an affair, and they had a sizzler. What neither expected were the new feelings and desires that came with it. Can the two of them move past the pain of their pasts and find a happily ever after with each other? This is an enjoyable story with wonderful characters and an absolutely lovely epilogue. I recommend this entertaining read.
