Pride and Prejudice meets Fifty Shades of Grey in this steamy tale of a stern lord and his new wife…
Widowed and desperate, Cordelia Astley knows the Marquess of Dunbury didn’t marry her for love, but once they’re married, she finds herself falling in love with him. It would be a fairy tale ending if not for her wicked stepdaughter, Gabrielle.
Philip desires nothing more than a happy marriage and, at first, his new wife is perfect – except that she allows her stepdaughter to denigrate and manipulate her. His method of correction for both Cordelia and Gabrielle isn’t what either lady expected, but Cordelia finds confidence in his support and care of her… unfortunately, Gabrielle appears determined to drive a wedge between them.
