Passion
Only by sheer luck that his solicitor had found the important clause in the contract was Gerrick reminded that twenty years ago he had been married to a baby girl. With the tragic death of his parents and fighting not only to keep possession of everything he owned but also his life, the appalling event had been forgotten. With just two years to sire an heir, he had no other choice but to fetch his bride and live with her until she was carrying the next duke. Once they were living together, he found himself constantly doing things he abhorred. What she was demanding of him, he knew there was no possibility that he could ever give her what she wanted — love. He learned very long ago never to show any weakness or let down his guard. Yet the more time he spent with her without him realizing it the walls he built to protect himself were already crumbling. It was after he had cruelly hurt her, did he realize how much he cared for her and wouldn’t be able to live without her at his side. His only goal now was to win back her trust and make her care for him again.
On the verge of marrying someone else, Addison is shocked to discover she and been married to a stranger and one she particularly didn’t like. Even hardly knowing him she could already tell he was a cold unfeeling, autocratic man who not only expected to be obeyed but insisted on having full control over everything. With very little choice she’s dragged to London and she intended to see her solicitor praying that it was a terrible hoax and he wasn’t her husband after all. When she was told that she was well and truly married, she's determined that she would settle for nothing less than passion and love. When he refused to let her into his heart, she's faced with the brutal truth that not only was he lying and using her but her betrothed had deceived her. Desolated, she had to accept the fact her marriage would be a loveless one. Yet she decided to give him one last chance and if he failed to care for her then she had to accept the fact that he would never love her.
