Bound by Their Secret Passion Gaston, Diane

A Regency-era captain haunted by war. A widow society has deemed scandalous. And a passion that could ruin them both — or set them free. When Captain Glenville returns from the Napoleonic Wars, broken and bitter, he never expected to find solace in the company of Lady Rebecca, a woman whose reputation has been shredded by malicious gossip. Thrown together by circumstance and bound by a shared defiance of society's cruelest judgments, they discover something neither dared hope for: a love worth fighting for. But in a world where honor is everything and scandal is unforgivable, their secret affair threatens to destroy the fragile lives they've rebuilt. Diane Gaston writes lush, emotionally grounded historical romance with flawed characters who earn their happily-ever-after. Perfect for fans of Tessa Dare and Mary Balogh, or anyone who likes their Regency romance with real stakes and real heart.
