About this ebook

As owner of the most scandalous club in London, the last thing the notorious Marquess of Roth wants is a wife. Keeping up his false reputation as a rake brings in the clients with the deepest pockets—money he needs to fund a noble cause. Even though everything inside tells him not to leave his beautiful, innocent wife behind at his country estate...he must.

But three years later, tired of her scoundrel of a husband headlining the gossip rags, Lady Isobel Vance decides enough is enough. She is no longer a fragile kitten, but as the anonymous author of a women’s sexual advice column, she’s now a roaring tigress...and she can use her claws.

Isobel decides to go to him in London, channeling her powers of seduction to make him beg to take her back. But she didn’t expect her marauding marquess to be equally hard to resist. Now the game is on to see who will give in to the other first, with both sides determined like hell to win.

Ratings and reviews

Stunning sequel to The Beast of Beswick! Were you as shocked as I was when Isobel showed up married to Roth at the end of Astrid and Thane's book? Well, here we get the rest of that story. Winter Vance, Marquess of Roth, had his own reasons for agreeing to the quick wedding, as long as it didn't interfere with any other aspect of his life. That's why he deposited his new wife at his father's estate the very next day and promptly returned to London, but not before securing the marriage with a quick yet satisfying consummation. Hate him yet? Yeah, me too. Isobel waits patiently for THREE YEARS while he's off supposedly still living the life of a confirmed rake, until the latest scandal is the proverbial last straw. Now the game is ON, and it's anybody's bet as to who is going to win (not really - we know Isobel holds all the cards - Winter is a man, after all). Isobel has matured tremendously in the ensuing years, while Winter hasn't been able to forget a single detail of his lovely wife and their brief time together. NO WORRIES here - he remained faithful to her, regardless of the rumors to the contrary. Their battle to break down the walls between them is predictably steamy while surprisingly tender and sweet, and it cleverly includes scenes and tropes that I have never before seen done so well in a historical romance. Along the way secrets are dredged up, enemies known and unknown complicate matters, and a secondary romance delightfully gives new meaning to the concept of "tea parties." This amazing story is every bit as engaging and entertaining as its predecessor. If you read The Beast of Beswick, then you already know you have to read this one. If you haven't, then you want to read that one AND this one and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
