Publisher Description

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Mary Balogh's The Secret Mistress.

In this classic tale, New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh introduces a hero like no other: Miles Ripley, London’s most irresistible bachelor, who’s about to lose his heart to the last person he ever expected to love—his wife.


When Abigail Gardiner knocks at the door of Miles Ripley, Earl of Severn, the last thing she expects is a marriage proposal. Desperate, she’d come to this charismatic stranger’s home to plead for her future. Instead she shocks them both by saying yes. Her impulsive decision will have consequences neither she nor her new husband can foresee. For Miles has his own reasons for marrying her. And Abigail is harboring a secret of her own. As distrust gives way to desire . . . as, together, they give in to the pleasures of the marriage bed, a devastating scandal threatens their future. Now these two wary hearts will risk ruin and disgrace for a love that has changed them both forever—the kind all seek, but few ever find.

A fun read

Low on drama and angst. High on romance and storytelling. Enjoyed it very much.

Georgette Hayer rules ,

Silly, silly, silly.....

After Georgette Heyer this is so amateur and silly....I read all of Heyer's books and was hoping to find something similar to read, but alas, this fell by far short. Silly, not even endearing heroine ( vulgar and American-sounding - in her expressions, emotions, etc), an unbelievable hero ( an earl would not forget his place or duty so as to do such a ninny-hammered thing even in the make-belief world)...anyway, after GH's heroines and heroes (even the silly, gooseish ones), this fell quite flat and contrived. I cannot emphasize enough how irritating the main heroine is...anyway, it was a waste of $7, for sure.....
