Books like Once Tempted by Elizabeth Boyle

In the Regency era, Olivia Sutton, a young woman of fragile innocence, falls under the spell of the infamous Marquis of Bradstone. His charm turns deadly, and his betrayal forces Olivia into a life of secrecy and false identity. Seven years later, the marquis returns—older, more refined, yet far more dangerous. As Olivia grapples with her past, Major Robert Danvers, disguised as the late marquis’s cousin, is secretly on a mission for the crown. His investigation brings him to the very woman whom he believes killed his brother. Olivia’s dangerous reputation clashes with a tender softness that awakens a profound, forbidden longing in Danvers. Torn between duty and desire, he must decide whether to betray his mission for love or protect his country, all while a raucous romance unfolds across England and Spain.
