Voluptuous

Her father’s best friend is the man-of-her-dreams.

Lady Henrietta Stafford can’t remember a time when she wasn’t fascinated by the tall, dark, melancholy Mr. Oliver Hart­well. But she knows she is meant for some other, far less compelling man. Her father’s friend would never be interested in her. She’s too young. She’s not beautiful or clever. And, of course, he’s already married.

A widower twice over, Oliver Hart­well has lived a life marked by failures—his boyhood-dream-turned-hellish-nightmare, his tragic marriages, the utter botch he is making of fatherhood. In truth, he has only ever found happiness in the home of his friend, the Duke of Bex­ton. But now that his friend’s oldest daughter has grown into a gorgeous, voluptuous woman, Oliver seems doomed to ruin his chances for love and affection, just as he has ruined everything else.

When ruination is the first step towards redemption . . .
