When a beautiful widow bursts into his study one cold winter evening, The Honorable Darius de Lucey doesn’t know what to make of her demand that he escort her to a notorious masquerade ball.

A stubborn heroine and jaded hero

I with there had been more depth to the romantic relationship and more character development. Granted, I didn't read the first 2 books in the series, which would have helped, but a good book will provide all the background required. There is a lot of explicit sex, which is fine by me, except for the sadomasoquism
