<I>New York Times</I> bestselling author Mary Jo Putney continues her stunning Lost Lords series with this stirring, sensual story of a rebellious nobleman drawn to a lovely widow with a shocking past.<P>As the sole remaining heir to the Earl of Daventry, Alexander Randall knows his duty: find a wife and sire a son of his own. The perfect bride for a man in his position would be a biddable young girl of good breeding. But the woman who haunts his imagination is Julia Bancroft--a village midwife with a dark secret that thrusts her into Randall's protection. <P>Within the space of a day, Julia has been abducted by her first husband's cronies, rescued, and proposed to by a man she scarcely knows. Stranger still is her urge to say yes. A union with Alexander Randall could benefit them both, but Julia doubts she can ever trust her heart again, or the fervent desire Randall ignites. Yet perhaps only a Lost Lord can show a woman like Julia everything a true marriage can be. . .<P><center><strong>Praise for Loving a Lost Lord</strong></center><P>"Intoxicating, romantic and utterly ravishing. . ." --Eloisa James<P>"Entrancing characters and a superb plotline. . ." --<I>Publishers Weekly,</I> starred review<P>"Will leave readers smiling, breathless, and anxiously awaiting the next adventure. . ." --<I>Library Journal,</I> starred review
