Daphne Wentworth met Sylvester Wentworth, Earl of Carrington when she was almost seventeen. Her father wanted her to have a powerful match so he blackmailed Sylvester into marrying Daphne. Six years later, Daphne is still in love with the husband that has neglected her. Daphne can not live in a marriage without love from her husband and plots to create a scandal so her husband will divorce her.
Sylvester Wentworth, Earl of Carrington, has returned to London after a near-death experience. He needs an heir to his title and estates. Sylvester is determined to make his marriage a real one. To his shock, his wife asks for a divorce. Now, he must do everything possible to convince his wife to be his countess in truth.
This was a great book. I liked Daphne and felt bad that she was in a marriage that her father wrecked before it started. Sylvester was aloof and often left Daphne alone until he decided he needed an heir. He became more and more entranced with Daphne as he was determined to seduce her. This was a great book with a wonderful ending.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
