But to her chagrin, her husband pursues her, wooing her as if she were a paramour, not his lady wife. She has loved, and lost, before, and will do anything to keep him from learning her terrible weakness: she’s secretly been in love with him for years. Melissande, however, is determined to keep her husband at a distance. Although Jasper is initially only interested in producing an heir, he soon becomes entranced by his wife–prim and proper by day, wanton by night– and vows to learn her secrets. Knowing that Jasper is under pressure to marry, Melisande Flemming grasps her fate with both hands and volunteers to wed him. All Jasper wants is to find a lady who will put up with him long enough to wed so he can retreat to his life of debauchery–a life that keeps the haunting memories of his past at bay. Jasper Renshaw, Viscount Vale, has a problem: he needs to marry and produce an heir to the title.
