The Wary Widow — Barbara Hazard

SUSPICIOUS OF LOVE

The charms of Vienna are certainly not lost on Cornelia, the widowed Countess of Wyckend. But she has come to this beautiful city with a very important responsibility--she must look after a young relative whom she and her distant cousin, Alastair Russell, recently rescued from a French convent.

Cornelia knows from experience that selfish, frivolous rogues like Alastair are simply not to be trusted. But while trying to shield her innocent young charge from the attentions of unscrupulous suitors, Cornelia encounters a devious man from her own past--and finds that Alastair may be the only one who can save her...

Hero: Alastair Russell
