SummaryThe Duchess of Cosway yearns for a man she has never met . .
. her husband.
Married by proxy as a child, Lady Isidore has spent years
fending off lecherous men in every European court while
waiting to meet her husband. She's determined to accept him,
no matter how unattractive the duke turns out to be. When
she finally lures Simeon Jermyn back to London, his dark
handsomeness puts Isidore's worst fears to rest—until
disaster strikes.
The duke demands an annulment.
Forsaking his adventuresome past, Simeon has returned to
London ready to embrace the life of a proper duke, only to
find that his supposed wife is too ravishing, too
headstrong, and too sensual to be the docile duchess he has
in mind. But Isidore will not give up her claim to the
title—or him—without a fight.
She will do whatever it takes to capture Simeon's heart,
even if it means sacrificing her virtue. After all, a
consummated marriage cannot be annulled.
Yet in forcing Simeon into a delicious surrender, will
Isidore risk not only her dignity—but her heart?
