Widow in Scarlet
Nicole Byrd
When Lucy Contrain discovers that rakish aristocrat Nicholas Ramsey believes her dead husband stole a legendary jewel, she insists on joining his search. Little does she know they will be drawn into deadly danger-and into a passion that neither can resist
Lord of mystery...
Nicholas Ramsey, Viscount Richmond, has a well-earned
reputation for seduction and scandal. What isn't so widely
known is the secret mission entrusted to him by the Prince
Regent--to bring to England a legendary ruby known as
the "Scarlet Widow," destined to take its place among the
crown jewels. But many have killed for the ruby in the
past, and when Nicholas's friend is killed and the jewel
taken, Nicholas vows to find both the murderer and the ruby
in a search that leads him to another widow...
Widow in Scarlet
Lucy Contrain thinks Nicholas is mad when he requests to
look through her late husband's belongings. Wary of the
aristocrat who's supposed to have a "way with the widows,"
she doubts his intentions can be good. But when he accuses
her dead husband of taking part in the theft of a fabulous
jewel, Lucy insists on helping him with the hope of
clearing her husband's name. She has no idea their search
will leal them into deadly danger--or headlong into a
passion that neither can resist...
