point, Daphne intends to create a scandal so big, her austere husband
will have no choice but to divorce her. Except everything goes awry when
he surprises her with the last thing she expected.

of an heir and means to make his marriage a real one. To his shock,
though, his wicked, beautiful countess wants the exact opposite, and he
must now do everything possible to entice his countess to stay forever.
