Captain Cole Amherst has commanded men and experienced the reality of war, yet he's really just a scholar and theologian at heart. That's what makes him nearly perfect to serve as tutor to the sons of Lady Jonet Rowland, a voluptuous and unconventional woman rumored to have poisoned her philandering husband.

Cole Amherst seems the perfect solution to the problem of educating her "spirited" boys, while keeping them safe from danger escalating since her husband's murder.

Yet neither Jonet nor Cole is prepared for the lust, ire and mistrust they feel for one another. Even so, they choose to face their discomfort, because each knows what's most important: the lives of Jonet's boys.

"A Woman Scorned" is beautiful in its erotic tension and intelligent writing. As in all her work, Carlyle combines stunning sensuality unique to her characters with driving, mature plot points and hallmarks which make her historicals one-of-a-kind finds among Regencies, and standouts upon many a keeper shelf.
