About this audiobook
In monetary matters, Jeremy Lockhart, Viscount Dearing, is used to being in control, but from his first sight of Lady Charlotte, his carefully cultivated world is rocked to its foundations. Determined to best her other, more eligible suitors, he goes to great lengths to ensure his betrothal to Charlotte. A locked black leather box holds the dark secret that has assured his success.
Innocent Lady Charlotte is baffled by her fiance's behavior. Why does Lord Dearing seem so distant one day, and so attentive the next? Her family's dire financial straits did not allow her the luxury of an extended courtship. If only she could entice him into the marriage bed! When at last Charlotte's efforts are rewarded, she revels in Jeremy's unexpectedly bold possessiveness. But outside of their bedchambers, her groom's guardedness quickly returns. Passion is no longer enough for sweet Charlotte, who vows to unlock the mystery of this complicated man. The truth, however, might be more than her principled heart is prepared to handle . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A shame that most of the chapters end up with a word or a syllable cut off. Could that be fixed?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Marriage bought, love sought!It seems a late night bet at White's becomes a matter of some urgency for an unknown speculator as Jeremy Lockhart, Viscount Dearing's marriage plans progress.Besotted by his first glimpse of Lady Charlotte playing at a ton recital leaves this business minded Viscount dazzled. But how to win her? Using his superb business skills he orchestrates Charlotte's family into financial ruin and then presents himself as the savior to all their problems. Having won the lady by unfair means, Jeremy just doesn't know how to win her affection, and so leaves Charlotte to her own devices. Very awkward, a marriage in name only and Charlotte puzzled as to why the man who requested her hand in marriage has now left her to her own devices wondering how to grab her husband's attention. She does but not quite in the way she wanted. I really lost patience with these two, their bad timing and even worse dithering.Then just as all the stars seem aligned another blow was dealt.A marriage of convenience turns out to be not. The torturous route to happiness became more and more convoluted and in danger of foundering. Love eventually reigned supreme leaving me exhausted!A NetGalley ARC
