Synopsis

Fragile and fleeting, love is an addiction...Lady Sophia Winterbourne-Stratford-Forrester is a widow twice over. She suffers from a weak heart and has been advised to live a life without excitement or surprise. Wishing for one more romance before she leaves this mortal coil, and not wanting to leave her daughter an orphan, she begins looking, and her pulse leaps when she meets the American ambassador to England. Who gives a fig if she's older than him?

When life is short and precious, one shouldn't wait... Mr. Oliver Mattingly is visiting England on holiday. Vastly different from America, he's anxious to see and experience everything, for adventure is in his blood. But when he immediately falls tip over tail for an enchanting, outspoken widow, the inexperienced bachelor knows where his next journey lies. After discovering her personal history, he asks for her hand. At least he can love her to the best of his ability before the inevitable happens.

Fate, though fickle, usually presents the perfect, if complicated, path... As the pair wed in haste and repent at leisure, they grow closer as desire only intensifies. A picnic by a rain-swollen creek turns into danger, and when Sophia doesn't suffer ill-effects from the heart-pounding stimulation, they're both shocked for different reasons. Could the doctor have been wrong?

Love doesn't care about misunderstandings or the foibles of life, it just is. Only they can decide if they truly want it... forever.
