At 17, Lady Viola met the love of her life. Three months
later, she'd worn her brother down with her strong will and
married Viscount Hammond. Within months, her fairy tale
marriage ended, leaving her life in shambles. Viola's
brother had been correct on all counts. John married her
for her fortune and was a womanizer. She locked her bedroom
door and within a month, they separated. For eight years,
Viola endures the pain of watching John with his endless
mistresses. Now, after all these years, he arrives on her
doorstep with a request.
After the death of a cousin, John needs an heir. He hasn't
been this desperate since he inherited his title and
discovered the neglect and poverty his father had left the
estate. If history is any indication, reconciling with
Viola will be a battle and a test of wills, but he must
win. John remembers the passion and fun at the beginning of
their marriage. The marriage died a fast death when John
tumbled off the pedestal Viola put him on. She could never
forgive him for being a mere mortal with flaws.
Using his legendary charm, John attempts seducing Viola
back to the marriage bed. Still susceptible to him, Viola
realizes she can only win if she can teach John how to
love.
THE MARRIAGE BED is a romance with deep emotional
intensity. Ms. Guhrke successfully draws readers into John
and Viola's lives as they take the tortuous road defining

hearts. She'll leave not a dry eye among readers with this
