Years ago, Lady Gillian saw Brian Ranson across the
ballroom and fell in love. After he marries her and
confesses his undying love for his mistress, Gillian
doesn't give up hope. When he marches off to war, Gillian
holds to her unrealistic dream that he will return and
confess his love for her. Instead, her heart turns away and
Gillian looks elsewhere for love. She prepares to commit
herself to another, when her husband returns and demands
Gillian honor their vows. With few options open to her,
Gillian cedes to his demand, but she is determined it will
be on her terms.
War has changed Brian Ranson, Earl of Wright, from an
idealistic young man into an adult with a much clearer and
cynical view of the world. His beloved mistress betrays him
and his father hounds him into following the career path he
has chosen. When Brian realizes Gillian has abandoned him,
he rushes to reclaim his wife. Brian needs her help in
attempting to capture a position in the War Office along
with another dire and pressing problem. He expects Gillian
to be the same immature girl he left behind and is
surprised when he encounters a very different woman.
Gillian hardens her heart and agrees to stay by Brian's
side for 30 days to accomplish his goals. She does not
expect to be caught in the emotional whirlwind of old
feelings returning with a passion. Neither trusts the other
and until they do, their marriage will not survive.
Ms. Maxwell is a terrific storyteller. She sweeps readers
into her characters lives following their happiness and
emotional upheavals. In her newest tale, Ms. Maxwell takes
readers on Brian and Gillian's journey as they explore
their expectations in their marriage and how trust can be
regained.
Preoccupied with fighting
Napoleon and making love to his mistress, Brian Ranson has
ignored his wife since their wedding. But now that he's
become the Earl of Wright, he's ready to fetch his bride
back to London. He's shocked to find she's become a bold,
beautiful woman, exactly the kind he lusts after . . . and
she wants nothing to do with him.
Gillian, Lady Wright, is
desperate to seize the love she's been denied . . . but
not with her rakish husband! So she makes a bargain—for
thirty days she'll be the perfect wife, then he'll set her
free. But no matter how she hardens her heart against her
damnable earl, her body begs her to surrender . . .
