Synopsis

The young ladies of the Fairchild family have just learned that their stepfather has absconded with their late mother's fortune. Ava, the eldest, decides to take matters into her own hands and hunts down the notoriously wealthy rakehell Jared Broderick, the Marquis of Middleton and heir to a dukedom.

Much to her shock and delight, the marquis sweeps her into a whirlwind romance and proposes marriage. But after their passionate wedding night, Ava discovers Jared has ulterior motives of his own. Not only does he expect her to deliver an heir while he continues to enjoy a rogue's life, but Ava also suspects she is a pawn in her husband's quest for revenge.

Marriages of convenience might work for some, but for Ava, a loveless bond won't do. So she devises a bold plan to confront her husband's demons so that he will be free to give her his heart for the right reason: because she is the only woman he will ever truly desire.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Lydia's Romance on July 13, 2024

I'm bummed. I found this book disappointing. I've read two other Julia London HR books and I loved those. Not this one. The beginning was slow-crawling, I'm surprised I had the patience for it. Ultimately, it failed to sell me on the romance. I didn't buy it one bit. It was a lackluster romance. I w......more

Goodreads review by Amarilli on January 16, 2019

Aveva imparato, molto tempo prima, che se uno investiva troppo di sé su un’altra persona, qualcuno o qualcosa avrebbe potuto spazzare via tutto quanto. Non innamorandosi, ci si poteva preservare. 4,5 - Agrodolce e MOLTO bello. Si passa dal clima lieve e spensierato di tre debuttanti senza dote, che si......more
