A marriage in name only.
An annulment she desperately wants.
His answer? Ten kisses.
Two years ago, Lady Miranda "Rain" Howerty married the elusive Duke of Westbourne in what seemed like a whirlwind love match. By the end of their wedding day, she discovered the devastating truth: Marcus Dashcombe had pursued her for reasons that had nothing to do with love. Since then, they have perfected the art of avoiding one another.
But when Marcus unexpectedly returns to their shared home, Rain decides she has had enough. She wants an annulment. A chance to finally move on.
Marcus knows he has no right to ask anything of his wife. He also knows he cannot let her go. Not when a dangerous secret from his past could place her at risk. Not when the thought of losing her still feels unbearable. Refusing her request, he proposes a bargain instead: ten kisses to save their marriage.
Rain agrees only because she is certain nothing has changed.
But stolen moments become impossible to ignore. Old wounds refuse to stay buried. And with every kiss, the line between resentment and desire grows harder to remember.
Because sometimes the greatest risk is not falling in love.
It's realising you never stopped.
A steamy Regency romance of estranged marriage, lingering desire, and ten kisses with everything at stake.
Genre: Historical Romance
