About this listen

The young ladies of the Fairchild family have just learned that their stepfather has absconded with their late mother's fortune. Ava, the eldest, decides to take matters into her own hands and hunts down the notoriously wealthy rakehell Jared Broderick, the Marquis of Middleton and heir to a dukedom.

Much to her shock and delight, the marquis sweeps her into a whirlwind romance and proposes marriage. But after their passionate wedding night, Ava discovers Jared has ulterior motives of his own. Not only does he expect her to deliver an heir while he continues to enjoy a rogue's life, but Ava also suspects she is a pawn in her husband's quest for revenge.

Marriages of convenience might work for some, but for Ava, a loveless bond won't do. So she devises a bold plan to confront her husband's demons so that he will be free to give her his heart for the right reason: because she is the only woman he will ever truly desire.

Contains mature themes.

Competently written, but kept wishing it would get a move on, and the poor H - both his ex mistress and his wife wailing at him. Narrator was easy to listen to, but this one not on my keeper list.
