Synopsis
He had made a proposal of marriage...to a woman who is now the most scandalous female in London. When Gabriel Warren, the handsome Earl of Angelwood, offered marriage to Lady Lilith Mallory, he thought his happiness was complete. But then they were, discovered in very compromising circumstances — and she disappeared. Now, years later, Gabriel enter's a notorious London gaming club to shockingly discover that the innocent woman he'd once wanted for his bride is now its seductive owner.
Lilith is astonished at the sight of Gabriel, and part of her longs to relive the days — and nights — spent in his arms. But the man she once loved can destroy the livelihood she has made for herself. For Gabriel is now a powerful man, one who is determined to shut down her establishment. Yet with each touch, each kiss, she begins to wonder if they could ever have a future — and overcome the scandals of their past.

September 13, 2003: Among the genre, heartbreaking mistakes and miscommunications are common. This book takes it to a new level, yet manages to be realistic in explaining how each of the lead couple come to their conflicting and often hurtful conclusions. They are in the classic spiral of male/female emotional conflict--loving each other but somehow always saying the wrong thing and arguing to protect themselves against commitment and vulnerability. It was painful in a way, but realistic. Other aspects of the story don't stand up to real scrutiny (how can she really go from ruined, club-owning woman to society maven??), but that is common with this genre. The sex scenes are hot, if brief, and not the main focus of the story. I prefer Stephanie Laurens' books, but this will do well in a pinch.
