Publisher's summary

As the eldest son of the Duke of Langford, Nathaniel Gresham sees his arranged marriage to Lady Violet Devere as just another obligation to fulfil – highly suitable, if unexciting. But as Violet sets out to transform herself from dowdy wallflower to dazzling young duchess-to-be, proper Nathaniel sets out to prove he's a match for his new bride's vivacity and daring.

Oppressed by her family all her life – especially her domineering and horrible grandmother – Lady Violet can't wait to enjoy the freedom of being a married woman. But then Violet learns her family's sordid secret, and she's faced with an impossible choice – does she tell Nathaniel and risk losing him or does she hide it and live a lie?

Warning to readers

This is not a clean read. There is descriptive bedroom scenes. While I read previous reviews looking to determine if this had the unwanted content, it was not clear and I took a chance on this new to me author. This was written well and I enjoyed the storyline but sadly will not be purchasing this author again. The narration was quite good.

Wonderful historical romance!

I loved this story and look forward to more by this author. This lovely story is about a newly married husband and wife getting to know each other and learning to put each other first. While not considered a "clean" romance it only has one bedroom scene and it's very mild and tastefully done.

I can’t even finish it

The story is slow and plodding, there is nothing that draws you in to where you don’t want to turn it off. I am over halfway through and cannot make myself finish it. Why punish myself by making myself listen. Sorry I don’t care what her mystery is.
