Everyone in society knows that the marriage of Lord and Lady Hammond is an unhappy one. Everyone knows they have barely spoken to one another in over nine years. But what no-one in society knows are the reasons why …

Lady Viola Courtland was a romantic and impulsive young girl when she fell instantly in love with the handsome and dashing Viscount Hammond. Unbeknownst to Viola, John Hammond had already given his heart to the only woman he would ever love—his cousin’s wife—but he was in dire financial straits and desperately needed to marry a wealthy heiress. In Viola, he thought he had found the perfect woman—beautiful and rich with a sweet nature. But Viola was neither practical nor sensible when it came to marriage, for she fully expected her husband to love her and was determined to settle for nothing less.

Soon, however, John’s secret was unwittingly revealed, but by then they were married and it was too late.

Until one day, John finally came to his senses and prayed it wasn’t too late to win back the love of his very own wife.

Readers didn’t care for this book or it’s characters. “Did I enjoy it? Nope. It’s not a light and fluffy type of romance nor is it an old school romance where you love to hate the hero and get drawn into the ‘oh, no he didn’t’ factor either. The hero was just a man. He did happen to be good looking and titled, but he wasn’t extraordinary in the way you want a romance hero to be, or even over-the-top in the old school bodice ripper style. He was very flawed, but not a monster. He ran instead of facing the issues in his marriage. He made jokes or sarcastic comments when conversation got serious. He was ridiculously out of touch with his emotions and childish/prideful. By the end I didn’t hate him, but he’s not my type of hero.”
