The Second Shot — Katy Madison

A curse or a second chance for love?

Returning from the Peninsular war disillusioned both by men's violence and the infidelity of women, Major Anthony Sheridan challenges a man he suspects of murder to a duel. He's not interested in the tale of the cursed pistols -- weapons that will reportedly bring the winner true love. He gave up on love when his fiancée betrayed him by marring another man while he lay bleeding on a Spanish battlefield. Yet a chance encounter with the now-widowed Felicity Merriwether arouses in Tony a desire he'd vowed never to feel again...

As far as Felicity Merriwether is concerned, Tony abandoned her and left her pregnant with his child, a child badly treated by the unkind older man who married Felicity in her time of need. When Tony shows up again like a bad penny, she finds the flames of her desire were never extinguished. She wishes to be far, far away from his devastating charm, but how can she deny her son a relationship with his father?
