Lady Madeline Raine, twin to Dominic, Lord Eden (Web of Love) was rejected by James Purcell five years ago. She has had many court her but cannot forget Purcell. When he returns from Canada, she finds the attraction is still there. They spark off each other; yet, come to grief with each meeting. He resigns to returning to Canada when his father dies. When he compromises her, he offers marriage. She accepts because she knows she would rather be unhappy with him than married to another. What a gulf exists between them. He is bowed down with guilt from his first encounter with love; complicated by his mistress' brother. This caused a lifelong break with his father. This guilt and unhappiness has clouded his relationship with Madeline. When Balogh explains what each is thinking, it is clear that there is a really failure to communicate. They seem to be unable to bridge this gap. Only when Madeline flees and he follows, are they able to truly communicate in this sensuous Regency romance.
This is the third in her Web trilogy.
