After a record breaking sail from China, Alexi de Warenneβs moment of triumph quickly vanishes. At his welcoming party, his bewitching childhood friend Elysse OβNeill begins flirting with a shipmate, clearly punishing Alexi for his time at sea. But when Alexi finds Elysse desperately struggling in the manβs arms, tragedy ensues. Within days, Alexi weds her to save her honorβand leaves her to forge a new life.
and Pretense
Elysse de Warenne rules the ton with her wit and grace, but the whispers of "abandoned bride" follow her ruthlessly. Elysse will never reveal the truth: that she hasnβt see her husband in six yearsβand they didnβt even consummate their marriage! When Alexi unexpectedly returns to England, Elysse will do whatever it takes to win his heart and claim her place at his side.
