Lady Pelham could not have designed a husband more suited
to her needs. The Marquess of Grayson is a dear and
enchanting friend and an unrepentant ladies’ man. Their
union is solid; their hearts safe from one another. But
every marriage has its surprises…
They Were Together For All The Wrong Reasons…
They are London’s most scandalous couple. Isabel, Lady
Pelham, and Gerard Faulkner, Marquess of Grayson, are well
matched in all things… their lusty appetites, constant
paramours, wicked wits, provocative reputations, and their
absolute refusal ever to ruin their marriage of
convenience
by falling in love with one another. Isabel knows such a
charming rake will never appeal to her guarded heart, nor
will she sway his philandering one. It is a most agreeable
sham … until a shocking turn of events sends Gerard from
her side.
Now, four years later, Gerard has come home to Isabel. But
the carefree, boyish rogue who left has been replaced by a
brooding, powerful, irresistible man who is determined to
seduce his way into her affections. Gone is the devil-may-
care companion who shared her friendship and nothing more,
and in his place is temptation itself … a husband who
desires Isabel body and soul and who will stop at nothing
to win her love. No, this is not at all the man she had
married. But he is the man who might finally steal her
heart…
