She desires him, but fears any relationship. The Regency story line is driven by the lead couple as he wants his Boudica in spite of her baggage of a child, a late spouse, and her deceased husband's secrets. The opening sexual encounter, perhaps a bit overly drawn out, is a sixth of the book with the heat generated making global warming seem frigid. During a blizzard, Christopher rescues Cybelline he hopes that wins the way into her heart, but he soon finds an adversary stalking her as she has secrets involving her spouse Nicholas' death that if revealed could ruin someone. Cybelline stepped out of character for the ball needing an escape from her grief and her impoverished state and of trying to bring to life her neglected estate. Unable to forget her, Christopher snoops and soon learns his sex goddess is recently widowed Cybelline Caldwell, a mother of a small child. However, before he can learn her identity, Boudica vanishes into the night leaving hr spear in his bedroom. She has his full attention as he neglects his guests when his warrior queen seduces him.
However, the tedium ends abruptly when he notices a woman dressed as Boudica.
In 1817 the masquerade ball hosted by rakish Earl Christopher Hollins is boring.
