The Seduction Of Sara by Karen Hawkins

   Lady Sara Carrington is a widow who was shamed by her husband's death, which occured during a tryst with his mistress. Lord Nick Montrose is a man with a torrid childhood and an illness of reoccuring migraines which he believes will kill him. Sara is sent to Bath to wait while her brothers decide on a husband for her, which she does not want. Sara decide to look for her own spouse in Bath, a man who will look the other way while she continues her wild escapades. Nick is one of her potential husbands that did not pan out, even though he is determined to have her as a mistress.

   Nick offers to help Sara in her pursuit of a perfect husband by giving her lessons in seduction. One night Sara and Nick's lessons go to far, and seconds after they made love, they are caught by two of Sara's five brothers. Nick, who has vowed never to marry due to his illness and background, gives into the pressure of Sara's brother after he threatens to send Sara out of the country.

   Nick and Sara have a rocky road to follow though due to Nick's illness and background. They also have to get past Sara's reservations over a cheating husband. Together their torrid passion blossoms into a passionate love and a beautiful marriage.
