A forbidden attraction... A hidden desire!

Years ago, penniless Lorene Summerfield wed for duty, giving her siblings the chance to marry for love. But now the generous-hearted countess finds herself widowed...and the man she’s loved in silence for years is falsely accused of her husband’s murder!

Although he closed his heart to love long ago, the Earl of Penford has always found Lorene irresistible. Their newly ignited passion may be scandalous, but now he’ll stop at nothing to clear his name and win Lorene’s hand!

Left destitute by their philandering parents, the three Summerfield sisters—Tess, Lorene and Genna—and their half-brother, Edmund, are the talk of the ton...for all the wrong reasons!

They are at the mercy of the marriage mart to transport their family from the fringes of society to the dizzy heights of respectability.

But with no dowries, and a damaged reputation, only some very special matches can survive the scandalous Summerfields!

Author Note (#u46812283-97f3-5860-b942-d959e964a403)

Bound by Their Secret Passion is book four in The Scandalous Summerfields series—the last of a series that has been a delight to write.

As I said in my author note for Bound by Duty (book one), the Summerfields are very loosely based on my mother, her two sisters and her brother. This book will be about the oldest Summerfield sister, Lorene, who represents my aunt Loraine.

My Aunt Loraine was the oldest sister as well. When their parents died, Geraldine—the youngest—was only sixteen, and my mother and Loraine were barely in their twenties. Aunt Loraine took custody of Gerry, helping her to finish high school and go to nursing school.

The three sisters lived together and were extremely close. In fact when my parents were married my father moved in with them. Aunt Gerry married eventually, and for many years while we kids were being born the two families lived in a duplex. When my father went back into the army Loraine moved in with us, living with us until I was in high school. She was a career woman—a secretary who still took notes in shorthand even in her eighties.

Loraine never had her happily-ever-after—at least not in the romantic sense. She almost married once, but the man who proposed to her wanted to go into politics and wanted her to give up her religion, which in those days would have been an impediment to his success. She refused.

Will my fictional Lorene find that happily-ever-after—or will it escape her like it did my aunt? I hope you enjoy reading Bound by Their Secret Passion to find out.
