Synopsis
For years, Daphne Wentworth, Countess Carrington has loved her powerful, enigmatic husband, despite the fact that they married under less than ideal circumstances. But no more. Finally at her breaking point, Daphne intends to create a scandal so big, her austere husband will have no choice but to divorce her. Except everything goes awry when he surprises her with the last thing she expected.
Sylvester Wentworth, Earl of Carrington, has returned to London for one reason—to seduce his wife. After a near-death experience, he is in need of an heir and means to make his marriage a real one. To his shock, though, his wicked, beautiful countess wants the exact opposite, and he must now do everything possible to entice his countess to stay forever.

Review
It's a great read, I loved the story. It's full of passion and angst, an amazing combination. Lord and Lady Carrington don't have an ordinary marriage. Things are very complicated where these two are concerned. Although, they both desire each other and may even love, but still they are unable to find bliss in matrimony. However, things will need to change because after six unhappy years they are both tired of it all...
Unfortunately, by 'change' they have different things in mind. One wants to be free and the other wants a second chance. Who will win is the question that needs answering...
Very well-written, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend anyone who loves a good historical romance. I hope this book doesn't disappoint you either.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
