Married
To The Viscount
By Sabrina Jeffries
Spencer
and Abby literally burn up the pages with their passionate lovemaking,
but their personal emotions are poignant and touching.
Abigail Mercer
arrives in England to see her husband, Viscount Ravenswood; she
is met with a cold welcome. The lord is clueless that he has been
well and truly married by proxy. To stop gossip from destroying
her reputation, as well as his family’s, he puts forth the
proposition that Abby stay his wife--in name only. Abby dislikes
that idea; she loves him and has ever since they met when he visited
her home in Philadelphia. The cold lord, who tells her how to dress,
behave and literally how to breathe, is not the warm-hearted man
who stole her heart.
Spencer is
incensed after he learns what his brother Nathaniel’s latest
scheme will cost him. His mock marriage to the beautiful Abby is
not something he can have, although he wants it more than all the
gold in England. Spencer can never be a real husband, not with the
secret he carries in his heart, nor can he ever hope to be a father.
His dreams of siring an heir became ashes during a battle that left
him severely injured. The woman he loves more than life is making
his life miserable, but he can do nothing to stop her.
Missing
dowries, proper etiquette and a marriage purchased with lies torment
Abby and Spencer as they rediscover their mutual attraction for
one another. Ms. Jeffries is totally breathtaking in this tale set
in Regency England. She throws out the rules of proper this, proper
that, and gives fans a sizzling, exciting and wonderful romance.
