An impending engagement, a secret mission, and a need for an annulment now that Daphne's past has collided with the present.

What was once a necessity to protect her virtue, it now proves to be the one thing that might actually lead to a happy-ever-after.

Passionate, tender, and a bit spicy this historical romance is a must read.

I enjoyed this historical second chance at love romance between Daphne and Rafe. The two are married to each other, but haven't seen one another for years. When Daphne wants an annulment, Rafe is motivated to convince her that they belong together. I enjoyed watching a real relationship develop between these two. I liked both characters, and enjoyed the banter between them. The storyline had plenty of action and kept my interest.
