Forbidden Nights with the Viscount by Julia Justiss

Forbidden Nights with the Viscount (Hadley's Hellions, #1)

by Julia Justiss

"After suffering the loss of her beloved husband, quick-witted Lady Margaret Roberts has sworn off the pursuit of passion...that is, until she meets Giles Hadley. Bitterly estranged from his family, reluctant viscount Giles knows all too well the devastation of an unhappy marriage. So while he is prepared to indulge in an illicit affair, he must beware, for spirited Maggie awakens in him something even more forbidden--the desire to claim her as his wife!"-- Page [4] of cover.

Opposites attract Lady Margaret Roberts is a widow, she works with her father as his hostess, Giles Hadley, estranged from his family, is from the opposite end of the political spectrum but when both of them meet they're quite attracted.  There are a number of problems getting in their way, not least of which is his brother who wants her as a wife.  
 
They engage in an affair and it becomes steamy (they're quite careful and it's well done) the two become very entangled but can he convince her to become his wife.  When a shot barely misses her things get more serious.
 
I really liked this story, the characters were well drawn and interesting in their adult behaviour.
